    We need the lousy mild Sat storm out of the way as much as possible for a chance at the next one. Looks like there could be a phase there but there’s little space for baroclinic zone recovery and it could be forced out to sea of it happens too soon after. The airmass does look a lot better if it can happen though.

    Maybe. Looking more and more like a late developer that slams eastern New England like a warmer version of Juno. CCB blows up and it snows like crazy right down to the coast in Mass. Just forms too late for us here and the beforehand airmass is awful.

    The $900B plan stands a good chance at passing IMO. Not what’s needed but hopefully enough to stave off doom for a few months.

    I’d rather it be nothing and have a salvageable and mild weekend.
  5. jm1220
    We’ve been fairly careful here-areas of increases but not crazy yet. We can definitely erupt at any time though if people become more lax. Restaurants/bars should close again here IMO.

    FL lighting up again as expected with restrictions dropping. Over 10k cases today and over 100 deaths. NY is headed up as well. CA over 15k yesterday. As some states in the Midwest subside somewhat other states are surging again, and they’re the big population states.

    With as strong as this Nina is, Dec and maybe early Jan are our real shot at winter.

    I guess we should note it’s about the 1 year anniversary of the last miserable windy cold rain event here where we watched I-90 get crushed. Can’t go too long without those. Joys of our climate. Note-many of us including me did end up with a couple inches at the end from the lingering CCB. Made up 1/3 of all the snow we got last “winter”.

    Trending towards a situation where Boston gets slammed at the end as the low pulls away. Another all too frequent too-late developer. The only chance we have down here is a strong CCB that can overcome the awful airmass for a few hours. Couldn’t care less about another windy rain event that will be even lousier due to it being a cold rain and watching people 100 miles away get crushed.

    It can be just fine for them if the upper low closes off and dynamics detonate overhead. Winds turn NNE and it’s all snow and heavy there. They had over 4” in the Oct storm, they can definitely do well now (not that it’s favored at this point).
  11. jm1220
    LOL, that would give me 12” where I live 100’ above Rt 110 and some slush down there probably. Gotta love that model. I mean maybe if this goes ballistic and upper levels close off overhead here instead of over RI/MA, there’s an angels in the outfield chance for snow near the coast.

    Yup, colder washout for us than the last storm but same deal-heavy rain for a while and wind. This time of year is tough for us regardless but lack of cold air is the real problem. Hopefully inland areas can get some snow. The best zone looks to be interior New England especially VT/NH.
  13. jm1220
    And just under 200k new cases.
  14. jm1220
    Encouraging that the measures taken in Europe are reducing the daily new cases there and will reduce the death tolls soon. Hopefully the same can happen here but the holidays, fatigue and “the vaccine’s coming so we can relax”, and lack of National strategy might shoot us in the foot. Hopefully not. Europe had more centralized and strict measures taken.

    Seems like the worst this time is in western NY so far but it can take off down here very fast also.
  16. jm1220
    Really not looking good today. We were less than 10 deaths below the record in April yesterday and looks like we’ll shoot over that today with big states not yet in. Part of it’s backlog from the holiday but the hospitalization trends mean the death tolls will keep going up for probably 2 weeks even if the hospitalizations stop increasing today. That plus overwhelmed hospitals mean more will die than need to. Horrible. The vaccines can’t come soon enough, but it won’t be in time to help in the cold season when they’re really needed. It’ll really help starting when the weather warms up.

    Just had a big gust here with a heavy rain shower. Trees notably swaying.
  18. jm1220
    From the look of it this should be an advisory wind event. High wind criteria is 57mph or over I believe.
  19. jm1220
    I guess you can say I’m a Lincoln Project Republican lol. A disgrace is a disgrace no matter which party has power. And this is up there with the worst ever among people who have any honesty.
  20. jm1220
    Couple the number of deaths with the fact we’re economically suffering much more than we need to and the disgrace by our “leaders” gets compounded even more. No one can say either that we didn’t see this huge fall wave coming. It was predicted many months ago and we just didn’t prepare or take the precautions seriously.
  21. jm1220
    Bad as it is there will be probably double this number per day 3 weeks from now. Even if we turned on a dime and all socially distanced and wore masks tomorrow, it wouldn’t make a difference for several weeks. Trump and his enablers have been absolutely disgraceful through this whole pandemic, no doubt about that. 2/3 or more of these deaths could have been avoided with a cogent national strategy, or even if Trump didn’t mock masks and didn’t hold superspreader rallies. Germany and Canada having 3-4x fewer deaths per capita shows how badly we failed, much less countries like Australia, S Korea and New Zealand. A few years ago we were rated as having the BEST preparedness for a pandemic.
  22. jm1220
    201k cases so far today, so we’re still going up. Meanwhile Europe has plateaued or is declining now. Deaths there are still very high but should also start declining in 10 days or so. Here still much more pain to come and much will be self inflicted.

    Yep, essentially shuts cold air down from getting south of the border and floods the continent with Pacific air.
  24. jm1220
    It happened here in April and was quite grim with morgue trucks outside the hospitals. Really hope the rest of the country isn’t headed that way.
  25. jm1220
    Yep. Unfortunately that’s the consequence of the overwhelmed hospitals-quality of care goes down due to the staff shortages, filled facilities and burnout. We have better treatments now than when it was horrendous here in NYC in April but we can only take care of so many people.
