  1. Yeah, they do have low density populations, but there's also very little business and industry. Many of those people in the southeastern counties commute to Cincinnati. The same goes for the southern counties along the Ohio which are part of greater metropolitan Louisville.
  2. My hope is that that the Covid-19 model being used by the CDC is not the GFS.
  3. Thirty days has September, April June, and November, except March which has 8,000. Looking forward to warm rain vs. cold rain.
  4. I'm depending on you to get some quality footage tomorrow.
  5. This is the kind of crap that is showing up on social media. To my Canadian friends, tell me that this is not true. "All schools in Canada are closed for the rest of the school year, each family will receive $950 every two weeks for the next 15 weeks, banks were notify to suspend mortgage payments for at least 6 months, and student loans deferred. Imagine if the United States did this."
  6. That, if true, is a prime example of what will be the downfall of this great country.
  7. Wow. We had storms with 20 page threads this winter that didn't put down that much snow. Sitting 1.2" here, but it looks like WAA is going to win and flip us to rain soon.
  8. I attend a large church which had already started broadcasting the services long before this happened. That's a great ministry for taking care of the high risk elderly. At least you're reaching out. I hope you're right about possibly only a couple of weeks. As Stebo mentioned above, the Detroit area was completely devastated back in '09.
  9. Oh crap, the Big three shutting down? This will have a disastrous economic effect around here
  10. I did the same on Friday. No fever, no respiratory problems. I assume that it's just a head cold. So, I stayed home from work and stayed home all weekend. I am working from home today. Not only would people freak out if they hear me coughing, I don't want to be exposed to something worse when my immune system is already taxed.
  11. Heckofa cutoff. Nary a flake here
  12. My job has been pure bedlam for the past few days, trying to quell the stupid rumors that people have been propagating. I have already made up my mind that when this blows over and someone makes a comment like bolded above, my reply will simply be, "Your welcome."
  13. The way the models have been overhyping storms all winter, we all know how this is going to end.
  14. Thanks for the warning guys. I'll be wearing this when visiting the board from now on.
  15. Not in our subforum, but the tornado death toll is up to 22 in Tennessee. I love being a weather hobbyist, spotter, and chaser, but in my profession, that's my worst nightmare.
  16. The joys of having lakefront property in @BuffaloWeather country. Nothing like having your home frozen over.
  17. February was by far the snowiest month here. Ended the month with 13.8", which included 3", 3.4", and 5.7" snows. We had 10 days with measurable snow, but only 12 days with at least 1" on the ground.
  18. I know that it is met Spring, but at my latitude, I use the vernal equinox as a delineation to Spring, as there really aren't enough pleasant days in March to consider it Spring. I actually consider both March and November throw-away months, or no-man's land, if you will. Neither month has enough snowy weather to be considered winter nor do they have enough nice pleasant days to enjoy as "Spring." (The once-in-a-lifetime Morch as the exception).
  19. The snowboard had 0.7" at 7 AM, another 3.1" at 1 PM, and 1.9" at 7 PM, for a total of 5.7". The 7 PM snow depth was 5.1". The low ratios and warm ground early hurt the total, but it also kept compaction to a minimum. Still dropping dust. EDIT: I just realized that Alek's call is going to nail it......for my back yard!
  20. I had 3.6" on the board at 1 PM and it still snowing nicely, so should be able hit 4. Not to be a glass half empty guy because this is nice, but oh what it could have been with some cold air to work with.
  21. Freakin' amazingly trash models this winter. Just a couple of days ago, I thought Alek's 5.5 call was going to bust due to the best snows being in WI, while I was waiting on a participation trophy for back end reacharound flakes. Tonight's 3km NAM bullseyes us with 7". Unbelievably bad. I feel bad for forecasters as every time the models pull this crap, they have to take the brunt of it from the public.
  22. Jackstraw and I were sitting on the bank, just watching the action when we actually hooked what we thought was a big one. So we judiciously used the reel's drag and slowly brought it alongside the boat. It was at that point we realized that the big dog we thought we hooked was actually a minnow. At this point, I'm ready to catch and release so maybe it will swim back northwest.
  23. A couple of questions concerning the NBM. Which models are included, what data are included from each, and is there any weighting?
