  1. 10 degree dew point on May 8th. What a time to be alive
  2. 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
  3. maybe we could get a repeat of the June tornadoes that year
  4. Hearing reports of flurries in the Milwaukee area this morning.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Almost a who's who of the bluest counties in America.
  9. blowtorch means death ridge, lets get an active pattern with thunderstorms and mild temps
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. Interesting to see both these pieces of information come out at the same time
  13. that's how some diseases work. the 1918 flu disproportionately affected young healthy people
  14. 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.
  15. what does this even mean?
  16. 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.
  17. forecast has lows in the 30s for the next 7 days. Don't know if we can break any records but next Monday would be our best shot with the record low being only 29. This morning temps only got down to 40. about 4 degrees above the predicted, maybe this trend will continue
  18. also disappointed but not shocked by the anti vaccination thoughts here. it doesn't make your immune system weaker, it's provoking the exact same response in your body as if you actually got the disease, that's why it's effective. Though maybe you are right and we should go back to having 15 million deaths a year due to smallpox and 500,000 deaths from polio each year. There's a reason life expectancy has gone up so much in the past 100 years and its not because we're eating more cheeseburgers.
  19. This will be inherently more deadly than the flu because no one has any prior immunity from previous exposure or a vaccine like millions upon millions do every flu season, this is a fact that cannot be denied or argued.
  20. Yeah I remember when everyone could get a test in March. And 60 million antibody tests would be available by the end of April. Lots of people make lots of promises that are rarely fulfilled
  21. It’s mostly still the meat packing plant outbreaks in Green Bay but there were a lot of new cases in Milwaukee and Kenosha counties as well
  22. Some convection with 10k ft bases in southern LOT CWA. Pretty cool stuff
