I hope not, smh And dang...ya know it's bad when even on a weekend where the reported numbers are usually lower...still couldn't avoid 2k. Mercy...

The virus is less active on weekends? This entire daily ritualistic exercise is impacting people’s senses. And not in a positive way.

because i’ve seen it 100+ times and because i have a reputation here for making factual posts.

if you have something other than your weird animus for me to offer in a rebuttal, i’ll be happy to entertain it.

 

Well i thank you for your condescension. And the undercover photos of nefarious golfers. This has strengthened your rep for making factual posts!

I live on a golf course.  people cluster together on the holes all day long.  social distancing is a joke to them.

           This makes an excellent example of statements, which I see vehemently complained of here, made with no supporting facts, nothing but a personal judgment that any golfer must not possess any self-awareness, but acts selfishly/ignorantly. How is that presumption logical?

they have been self-isolating longer than we as a society have and still he got.  I'm hoping my mom will have been an asymptomatic positive so she can rejoin the world once restrictions ease.

I feel for people with kids. we just have the cats and they're used to us being around after oceanwx's long recovery last year.  and i'm also anxious to dig in the dirt.

I wish your family members a speedy and lasting recovery. Dirt digging occurs in the political forum every day, if I recall correctly (having been lit up there once or twice, by you ;). Actual dirt? Much more fun. Enjoy the digging.........

Pretty spot on with the doom porn analogy, sir. There has to be some correlation between people who seem to hope for disastrous weather events to those possibly "rooting" for more deadly viral tolls. People need to chill out on taking offense to opinions with which they may disagree. It is a forum, after all, theoretically.

 @showme----   Your "attacker" is simply a well-known political harridan, wishing to relegate you to the political forum chopshop. You weren't out of line, the politicization of your comment came entirely from that individual. The thread is enjoyable despite that momentary irrelevance.

The answer to the question of preparation is complex, but I have read multiple articles stating that CDC is perennially very well prepared to meet such a situation. A pandemic is very difficult to anticipate and respond to, and this one has emerged from a region subject to totalitarian rule, a country that is a major threat to the US. This will also take a long time to determine with the focus now necessary to counter the virus. 

 3.5 in beautiful downtown Chestertown between 8:30 and 1pm. Nice event rates were strong.  All snow. On the season, this makes 11.0. 

    Yesterday I got absolutely fed up with certain posters in the Mid-Atlantic forum who, in addition to talking about the dynamics of the developing storm and its track, seem to take pleasure in and even root for the type of destruction such a major hurricane could impose. I saw multiple posts from others politely decrying that sort of comment. I don't care if someone has 10,000 posts in this forum and possesses great knowledge, because for me callously ignoring the destruction and disruptions which may await many people in the next week along the east coast by enthusing over a major strike, makes one look like a teenager at best, at worst an idiot who lives in a suburban condo far from the danger zone. 

1/8 inch or more and schools will be closed down ......the enthusiasm and nailbiting tension in this thread due to the possibly approaching flizzard is palpable, the visuals, however.......

Rain mixing with more rain, and followed by rain....still plenty of time for improvement, or not

What a great run of winter weather the lower shore had this season, it will long be remembered........So, how's everyone enjoying the rain and mud? Also, has anyone noticed that the models are "depicting" a return to below normal toward the end of the medium range?

Today's forecast is slush/slop followed by concrete....And the epic cold goes on with barely a pause, just enough to screw up yesterday's potentially good snow event. March will be in lion mode this year

Amazing! that happened real fast. Thanks for sharing, N'easter.....We truly are witnessing some serious late-season vodka cold, I think people are long going to remember this winter. it appears that there's going to be a lot more ice out there as the upcoming 7m days offer little to no relief....This is right up there with the winters experienced in the late '70's.....

This cold snap is epic; it's extended and I do believe that a healthy portion of the Chesapeake is going to ice over if the wind eases down.....As for snow, we are looking pretty good at this lead and confidence is growing. The magnitude of this cold airmass and the fact that it simply keeps reloading an active pattern boosts our chances. Would be truly fun if the Delmarva got slammed whilst the I-95 corridor west gets fringed...... bunch of chicken neckers....

The 273+- pity flakes I saw a short while ago qualify as a burst this winter I guess.....

Thanks for the article. Given the economy and the deficit, seems as though any span is an extreme longshot, (seems similar to the waning possibilities for significant snow(s)on the lower shore/southern Md). Agree on the bay's freezing likelihood being low, the deep cold would have to be in place for at least a week or longer. Rivers/creeks will stiffen up. I'm old enough to recall the epic cold of the late '70's.......Feb. '79 saw heavy freezing even in the lower bay iirc....

Dorchester county will never suffer a bridge, the whole idea is bankrupt government insanity.

There will be considerable ice, if it's real cold for a week I think the main bay very well freeze

Today's weather will be mostly cloudy with a 100% chance of snow geese

Getting muddier now, soon the mud will be concrete, then snowless rinse and repeat.......
