Yep, mop up time and then move on to January.

GR Level 3 for a one-time price of $79.95 for your pc/laptop and Radarscope for a one-time price of $9.99 for your phone and you're set with everything you need. (I also run GR2Analyst).

Already happening: LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hospitals across California have all but run out of intensive care beds for COVID-19 patients, ambulances are backing up outside emergency rooms, and tents for triaging the sick are going up as the nation’s most populous state emerges as the latest epicenter of the U.S. outbreak. “I’ve seen more deaths in the last nine months in my ICU than I have in my entire 20-year career,” said Amy Arlund, a nurse at Kaiser Permanente Fresno Medical Center. Patients are being cared for at several overflow locations, including a former NBA arena in Sacramento, a former prison and a college gymnasium. Standby sites include a vacant Sears building in Riverside County.

I ended up with 1.6" locally, with accumulations ending shortly after noon. The trough has continued to produce mood flakes all afternoon and look to continue overnight which may allow a few more tenths to accumulate.

If you lol about the "hysteria" around my friends and relatives who have had horrible cases of the virus and families of my friends who have died, you may end up waiting on an open hospital bed yourself. Oh, yeah and my friends who work as respiratory therapists who have been going 100 mph for months also wouldn't take kindly to you laughing about the situation.

California issued 5,000 body bags to LA and San Diego and has 60 refrigerated trailers on standby as temporary morgues.

I-65, still getting it done.

I know that this is beating a dead horse, but as a country, our response is pathetic. Most of our rise as a world power is because of our ingenuity and science. Now, rather than following the science, we are following the money, while chanting the mantra "a vaccine is coming to save the day." Meanwhile, cases are skyrocketing. Had this pandemic happened at almost any other time in our history, we wouldn't see what's depicted in the chart below.

Surprise! I already have 1.2" down and still falling. So much for my 0.8" prognostication. Really nice to open the curtain and see the beautiful white stuff for a change.

0.8" at FWA. Final Call. Top two event.

Looks like I'll be good for a turd duster if it doesn't melt on contact with marginal temps. EDIT: I'm talking about Wednesday, not Alek's DAB on the 24th.

Where we're at is also political. McConnell is holding up everything because he is trying to insert language in the legislation that will protect companies from being sued when their customers get Covid because they weren't using proper protections. EDIT: I know that Hoosier will delete this because it's political, but you asked and that's the answer.

Josh, that looks like an old Coca-Cola Santa.

The WAA overperformed yesterday as we lit up a 60°, only three degrees off of the record set back in 1931, which seems like low hanging fruit for Dec. 11th. We picked up about an inch of rain overnight and the front is passing through which will usher in a boring dry period with seasonable temps. Guess I'll have to park in the Covid thread and rant.

I would accept a rerun of that winter except for drifting sleet.

Guys, guys...don't get sucked in. Just repeat the mantra, weaker and southeast, weaker and southeast.

FYP and you're right. Much easier to ship and store and the efficacy is comparable.

Agree. The current economy is a boon for big business. They are raking it in at the expense of the little guy. I also think the economy will take a hit after Christmas though as spending will fall off of a cliff without a stimulus package. This is a real possibility with McConnell and Co. not wanting to send relief to state and local governments and threatening to shut down the whole package. However, once the vaccine becomes widely distributed and we begin seeing a substantial drop in cases, ULCA economists are predicting a "roaring 20's" type of recovery. I don't disagree with this. You're not supposed to time the market, but with a downturn in the economy looming, it would be a great time to buy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9034905/Americans-ready-roaring-20s-say-UCLA-economists.html

You're good. This could be the year of MSN specials.

Possibly, but the Euro also depicts the flow going zonal after mid-week and floods us with Pacific air, keeping the cold bottled up. It does hint at a wave crashing ashore at the end of the run. Could it be something to look forward to just in time for Christmas or just another rainer?

It would suck to be on Mt. Geos for this one. You could smell the snow while getting drenched with 33° and rain. I'll take my half inch of rain and like it.

That's absolutely a thing. I would say an overwhelming majority of people in this part of the country want a white Christmas and then no more snow for the rest of winter. Also, this discussion reminds me that we didn't have a white Christmas here last year, but we had a white Christmas eve. This counts, doesn't it?

My back yard is currently one of the nation's hottest of hotspots. And the hospitals are almost full. Pretty soon there won't be many available diversion routes. https://www.wfft.com/content/news/Allen-County-ranks-in-top-ten-COVID-19-hot-spots-in-the-United-States-573337761.html

Indiana's Governor Holcomb just announced that hospitals are required to postpone all non-emergency procedures until Jan 6th. He also empathized that if you feel you need medical attention, get it. The problem with this action is that many who may need immediate medical attention may not act on it and negatively affect their outcome. EDIT: He also told health departments that there are no exceptions permitted to limits on gathering numbers based each county's color level.
