  1. Over 4000 deaths again today. CA really driving the numbers but NY increasing again too. The outbreak’s definitely worsening again here. The US is routinely making up over 25% of world daily deaths again.
  2. Not a huge deal11!1!!! Only about 1800 or so of those maybe are under age 80 and would be dead soon anyway.
  3. 50% or more of COVID deaths (in this case over 180000 of 360000) have been over age 80, yet barely anyone under age 80 has died? 100000, 150000 etc count as “barely”? Do you have even a basic knowledge of math/percentages? And what a f-ing callous thing to say regardless. We also have treatments and care that we did not have in 1919. So yeah I would certainly hope we could keep death numbers lower, but we by far have the highest death toll on Earth. So it also indicates our response being a total failure.
  4. You’re in the wrong forum. That should be infuriating for both you and me. Disgusting, insert horrible adjective. It’s how I see that map anyway.
  5. Seems like a pretty vigorous upper low coming through so I could see it trying to tuck into the coast. Like others said it’s a done deal for a washout down here regardless so hopefully some closer in NW suburbs can have something decent.
  6. The new strain has likely been here for months.
  7. Not that unusual they receive snow in the mountainous areas there but that’s a pretty sizeable event. When I lived in TX in Dec 2015, there was an 18” snowstorm in Lubbock which isn’t in the Trans Pecos mountains. Austin is getting a cold nasty rain event with mid-40s temps and some snow nearby in the Hill Country.
  8. Terrible. That’s what happened here in April.
  9. The GFS cold bias is more of a suppressed bias. It didn’t see the warm air aloft in the Dec winter storm since it also had the mid level lows tracking too far south. The warm bias is at the surface-due to its poor resolution not seeing surface cold air pooling. I would go with the Nam any day to see the low level cold air and any mid level warmth-it typically resolves those a lot better.
  10. 1/3/18 was one of the most ferocious blizzards I’ve been in for sure.
  11. Howling outside here in Long Beach. Have power still but this rate not much longer.
  12. The most rain would be in upslope areas in NY/NJ that typically do well in SSE flow events like this. Otherwise I wouldn’t expect more than 2” in any particular place. Main story from this would be winds-which are kicking up here in Long Beach. Having an eggnog and paying a vigil to the few remaining snow piles.
  13. In Long Beach today, boardwalk is definitely windy already. Sad to see what little snow there is here disappearing.
  14. A good amount of snow melted here the last 48 hours but of course that isn’t the biggest threat down here. We lost a lot of weaker trees from Isaias, Sandy, Mar 2010 etc but Christmas without power is something no one’s looking forward to, and it’ll happen to a lot of people if we have to deal with 70+ mph gusts.
  15. CA would have to roughly double its hospitalization numbers to make it to NY’s per capita since CA has almost double the population. But of course the outbreak in April was largely focused down here in the NYC area and the rest of the state wasn’t affected as much.
  16. Good thing this snowpack is so water logged. It’ll hang on as long as it can. Irrelevant if this Xmas Eve 70 mph southerly wind event happens I guess lol.
  17. Geez, the snow might not get melted as much as blown away lol
  18. Just NY was nearly 1000 deaths per day at one point although we didn’t have the capabilities we have now. Especially now with CA hospitals full and still turning in 30000 cases per day, could get really bad soon.
  19. Dec is typically when we’d get snowstorms in a Nina so this is evolving the way a Nina should. There’s been more blocking than some predicted which is great, but we have to keep that in place especially since part 2 of Nina winters are usually warm and snowless here.
  20. We may have gotten over 8” with the afternoon snow showers we had but I’ll just say we ended with 8” here since I didn’t bother measuring
