Huh, I expected the Rocky Mountains would be a little rockier then this.

Spring 2023 Medium/Long Range Discussion
nwburbschaser replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Maybe some severe prospects on the horizon? Euro looks interesting towards the end of next week -
The 18z Euro going south really crushed my hopes for this. Maybe Stebo can reel this one in

Pre-Christmas (Dec 21-23rd) Winter Storm

GEFS says wagons west as well. -
Pre-Christmas (Dec 21-23rd) Winter Storm

I hope this doesn't keep trending west, but that run was incredible even with 10:1 ratios. Originally I was thinking Michigan would be the jackpot, but if this keep up, congrats Iowa? -
Pre-Christmas (Dec 21-23rd) Winter Storm

I'm all for the blizzard as long as I don't lose power. That GFS run is incredible for my area. -
Mask usage is just fine in this area overall, but the same can't be said if you get away from the major metropolitan regions. Also, just like Stebo I see a lot of people at work who have them on, but don't wear them properly. It seems like those are the same people who declined the vaccine at work too. It was an absolute nightmare for me from October to early February and it sucked. I'm vaccinated now, but I'm still going to wear a mask for the foreseeable future. The vaccines will absolutely reduce transmission, but the prevalence is just too high right now to move away from masks.

The reactions seem to be different for everyone. I only had a sore arm from both shots and no fever/chills type stuff at all.(Moderna) Some others from my work had fatigue and headache from the 2nd shot. One person did have a fever around 100 degrees for a few hours. Someone who had covid around Thanksgiving just got his first shot and he only had a sore arm as well. The sore arm improves significantly within 48 hours.

The vaccines do protect against them, but the vast majority of the population isn't vaccinated... Uncontrolled spread is what causes the variants to pop up so why wouldn't we want to have some restrictions in place to keep that from becoming a huge problem while we vaccinate people? Some of us want this to be over

My work has been like that during this pandemic as well. We had a full blown outbreak heading into Thanksgiving, but it has been quiet since late December. A bunch of us have been vaccinated so we might not follow the national trends anymore.

Totally jealous of those closer to the lake. I think I'll be right on the edge of the heavier snow so we'll see how this goes.

January 10th-12th Winter Storm Potential
nwburbschaser replied to Thundersnow12's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
I'm probably 30 miles from a sig snow event so I'm really hoping that this can come a bit south. Hopefully convection can do the trick and put N IL into the snow although I have doubts it will happen. -
Nov. 25th-26th Midwest Snowstorm Potential

My power has gone out twice, but came back on quickly both times. The snow falling off trees onto my roof is making a nice thud. -

It just changed over to snow here. I'm about 6 miles NW of ORD.
