  1. 58/15 here at the moment. Probably won't see dewpoints this low again until october or november.
  2. it's been a slow climb through the 40s this morning. Hoping we can at least crack the lower 50s today. One last chance at a frost tonight before mid/upper 50s tomorrow, lows in the upper 30s tomorrow night and 60s and dews in the 40s on Wednesday
  3. Noon temp here was 34. Which is probably a record for the date.
  4. Back to rain here. Winter 2019-20 might finally be over (the next two nights of possible frosts notwithstanding)
  5. Turned to all wet snow here. On May 10th. Luckily no accumulation yet
  6. Looking like a chance for snow here tomorrow on the backside of the strong clipper moving through. Will be a battle of dynamic cooling vs daytime heating here
  7. Fort McCoy has hit 17 and Black River Falls 14 this morning. Madison with a balmy 25 for a low
  8. 10 degree dew point on May 8th. What a time to be alive
  9. there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Starting Wednesday things are looking warmer with higher dewpoints and chances for storms. Euro shows a high pressure building in after that for a beautiful weekend next weekend with temps in the 60s and 70s
  10. maybe we could get a repeat of the June tornadoes that year
  11. Hearing reports of flurries in the Milwaukee area this morning.
  12. it's going to be weird having the sun set after 8pm with the temps falling quickly through the 30s. Must be even weirder for Eastern time zone peeps who's sunset is closer to 9.
  13. Keep an eye on Black River Falls(KBCK) and Sparta/Fort McCoy(KCMY) in Wisconsin, especially Friday night, Sunday night and Monday night. Winds look to stay up a bit so there will no true tanking but if an site is going to do something crazy it'll be one of those two. Also Land O'Lakes(KLNL) can get very cold but I don't track that one as much. For example Fort McCoy hit 28 and Black River Falls hit 24 this morning while Madison was only 44.
  14. Looking at records for MSN most are probably unreachable but still interesting to note: 5/8: Low-26 Low Max-41 5/9: Low-20 Low Max-40 5/10: Low-22 Low Max-41 5/11: Low-29 Low Max-40 5/12: Low-24 Low Max-44 The only one with a realistic chance of being broken at the moment looks to be Monday's record low of 29. The rest look to be unreachable. In addition the 8-11 all have measurable daily snowfall records so don't see any of those getting broken atm.
  15. Almost a who's who of the bluest counties in America.
  16. blowtorch means death ridge, lets get an active pattern with thunderstorms and mild temps
  17. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/05/health/genetics-coronavirus-spread-study/index.html?fbclid=IwAR1W4ZQhMWajgyPlJ08sz_92XXQ0zyygLoAbOg8VQ1loB_AOGckT34DDbCk more credence to the idea that this has been spreading in America since late last year
  18. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fever-fatigue-fear-some-recovering-covid-19-patients-weeks-illness-n1197806 https://www.businessinsider.com/mild-coronavirus-cases-recovery-symptoms-last-a-month-2020-4 Symptoms lasting for up to 2 months(!) in some young people.
  19. Interesting to see both these pieces of information come out at the same time
  20. that's how some diseases work. the 1918 flu disproportionately affected young healthy people
  21. also we are much less accustomed to death now. when someone in middle age dies these days we treat it as a shock and something that should be avoided, rather than 100 years ago when it was commonplace for children and young adults to die often(from disease, starvation, war etc.) as humanity progresses we accept less death and for the most part that's a good thing.
  22. what does this even mean?
  23. Once again this thread is just proving how polarizing online discussions become. We either get people complaining about people being out and about without masks or sharing images that make beaches look much more crowded than they are or sharing fake stories about how the new world order has brought this disease upon us to destroy our freedoms and parroting some online information from very questionable sources. Very few people here are actually discussing a productive way to handle this disease.
