Lol I highly recommend a green Christmas. I put lights on the palm trees this week! 60s and sunny is a hell of a way to celebrate the Holidays

Yeah these politicians consistently prove why government is the worst. Denver and Austin’s mayor imposed new restrictions and then boarded an airplane for vacation lol. California’s governor and the SF mayor had a big dinner get together with their families after closing bars and restaurants.

Unreal stretch of weather next week. Gotta love mid 60s and sunny this time of year

I’d like to post here more often but it seems I spend most time on the Lakes/OV threads watching my hometown of Toledo get snow. Since moving to Charleston I’ve definitely gone full heatmiser and became anti-snow

Should just close all schools until next Fall. These K-12 kids are getting a very substandard 5 quarters of education and it aids transmission. The hell are we going to see in the Fall of 2021 once vaccination levels are high? Too many kids are going to be behind and unprepared for college. Plus could save money if you furlough all the teachers at a reduced salary.

I-95 was absurdly busy today. Was at aunt and uncles for Thanksgiving and weekend (we all work remotely) and traffic was averaging 45 mph due to the amount of travelers. Was almost entirely New Jersey, Virginia and Pennsylvania plates heading back. Southbound was all NY and FL drivers

Well it’s why me and another guy who got a Met degree that I golfed with locally made a weather blog back in the day that used to have thousands of views during storms. It was crazy because you’d look at guidance, use past knowledge, and AFD’s from local offices to make decisions. But the disco’s from IWX often drove opinions because it was more robust and made good points. Figured I’d bring it back since I’m not in college anymore and have more free time.

Hard to collaborate with people who don’t have complete focus. I won’t lie some of the responses from the Toledo meteorologists are disappointing as well. WTOL’s number two guy said “enough to cover the grass”. I know I don’t have a degree in meteorology but so many signs point to a 5-8” for most of the area with higher totals possible to the East. It’s hard to believe being in the deformation band of such a dynamic storm with ample cold on the backside will struggle with warmth from the lake or mid levels

Well Cleveland is very Cleveland-centric in their forecasts and it shows unfortunately. I think 5-8” is a slam dunk for the Toledo area at this time

Rant incoming. This map is so infuriating. Clearly IWX shows 6”+ for the Toledo area, yet CLE has them around 2-4” as do the local Toledo mets. It’s like the local people in Toledo are obsessed with American models, so when the Euro consistently shows an amount on either side of the coin they don’t cling to it until 12 hours before

I think this could bust hard. No reason to go under 6” in Toledo

Yeah most have fallen. I’d say 75% of trees are pine or palm so you don’t see much of this anyways. They just kinda fall here, not much changing of the leaves. Props to my alma mater Bowling Green, nice shot of snow here!

I’m still here. Haha other than 70 and sunny there isn’t a lot of forecasting to do here. Actually only supposed to be 52° on Tuesday! May actually have to run my furnace

Makes you wonder if some places will be issued Blizzard Warnings. At the heart of the storm in that main band consistent 30-35 mph seems attainable with heavy snow

I’m kind of shocked. Went to Dick’s Sporting Goods and Target today, deader than a usual day. Crazy slow, let alone for a Black Friday

I still have my doubts on it not going west of Toledo. So rare to see strong lows not cut up towards Fort Wayne with big snows for Chicago and Milwaukee this early in the season. I cannot remember in my life an “app runner” in November. Maybe 2002?

I blame the Lions for the yelling and alcohol today

So I’ve heard. My buddy flew from Charlotte to Denver and the temp was 50° less when he got off the plane lol. We’re doing a smoked turkey outside, quite a bit of family drove in from out of town and it’s 83°. Can’t beat an outdoors thanksgiving in shorts

I wouldn’t say a highly contagious illness that spreads before people have symptoms is easy to control. I’ve said it a thousand times, have to close factories down to beat this thing down. All companies are doing is saying they’re part of the “supply chain” to remain open as an essential business. My dad’s work has an outbreak occurring on the floor. How laminated labels for beers is an essential business is beyond me. If you’re going to be working 8-10 hours indoors along side other people, it’s gonna spread

Might be time for a thread. What a bomb for Toledo & Detroit

I wouldn't say a field storming is brief. But I agree, it's private gatherings that are mostly driving this.

For sure. Two things that have been very interesting to me this Fall, no athlete has caught Covid from a game in the NFL or College which is interesting considering they're playing a contact sport. Secondly no one caught Covid from that field storming at Notre Dame. I'm shocked at both things

I mean I can’t imagine anyone living in a Midwestern city knocking Charleston, SC. I literally do live in a paradise haha, it’s one of the top vacation and retirement places in America for a reason. Do bring up a good point though. Why is spread so bad up in the Midwest? Honestly all these restrictions in the North, yet the spread is so much worse? Personal opinion, it’s all private gatherings and work. The more you take away from public options, the more people resort to cookouts and movie nights with friends. Between that and the abundance of factories and distribution centers, it’s going to lead to higher spread

Oof@Hoosier you gotta shut this down. I never thought this thread would go down an exercise and diet rabbit hole but here we are

Man do you even remember college? I used to exercise all the time and was broke as hell haha. http:// https://www.foxnews.com/us/pennsylvania-governor-covid-masks-worn-indoors-requires-bans-alcohol-thanksgiving What’s next, banning the sale of condoms to try and prevent people from coming within 6 feet from each other
