Sooooo, got the news that New York State is telling schools to "forget the planned Spring Break" and continue education. To do that on the WEEK OF the expected break is disrespectful and maddening. I love my students...but this break was meant to be a MENTAL and EMOTIONAL break for teachers and students. My school has been working hard in educating our students virtually up to the start of break. I feel this is just the state pushing teachers to have to keep students entertained and supplied for when there are some things PARENTS should be responsible for. END RANT.

Very true...I was thinking about that as well. Regardless, it shows that there are definitely more people who have it. I mostly do Aldi. So there it is disinfecting the cart and quarters. If I go at 10 am, it is usually reaaaaally quiet then. Thanks for the tips!

Ha! There are definitely a couple trolls on the Bville FB pages. There's one dude who is mocking all the people who are upset about the people who were partying in the parking lot at Radisson the other day.

I wonder if that circle waaaaaay up in Northern Ontario is a mistake. lol

I've been checking out this website. You can go to the map and zoom out. Scroll over any of the dots and it gives you exact numbers. https://www.rochesterregional.org/coronavirus-covid19

Typical confrontational New Yorkers. lol I have witnessed SO many people in the Syracuse area yelling at each other (random strangers) about trivial things the past couple weeks. This whole situation is adding so much stress to a population that is already high-strung and wound-up.

Well, as we've seen, it seems that once it gets into the 100s, cases start popping up very quickly. With so much of the shopping being in Clay, and a higher number count there, I will stay away from there. So close to home. I may go to the Aldi over in Bville this week. Not as dense of a population over that way.

It's definitely spreading throughout almost all communities across New York state now. Looks like it is more concentrated in the southern part of Oswego county, but working its way north and east. https://socpa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/7bd218bc8be04b209c0b80a83fc2eba5 Onondaga jumped up quickly since yesterday morning. 70 some new cases and almost to 200 infected. Clay/Cicero seems to be a hotspot, so not surprised at all with southern Oswego county.

Numbers starting to take off here in the Syracuse area. We are probably going to surpass the 150 mark today, if we haven't already. Here is our County Tracker. My town, as of yesterday, had 5. https://socpa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/7bd218bc8be04b209c0b80a83fc2eba5 I was reading yesterday in our local paper that New York is considering sending people up to our hospitals if they end up running out of spaces down there. But, we may be seeing LOTS of cases popping up here this week.

I envision you have a cellar in your house filled with chicken, TP, space suits, and disinfectants. Unfortunately, many of us are going to get this at some point in the next year...there isn't much way of avoiding it. The scary thing is the unknown of whether you will end up as a statistic.

Wow, those numbers across the countries have gone up FAST since I last looked.

Thanks for your service in our state.

That's what I thought. I think I recall you guys getting into the 60s a lot last winter as well.

I forget...when did you guys have your first lake effect event last year?

Very interesting, Ohweather! A few other things I noticed from your maps: 1) There is often a Low Pressure located in Easter Canada/Quebec 2) There is often a warm front or stationary front in Montana and the Rockies states 3) There is often a low pressure system located in the Gulf coast area. Very interesting how those commonly show up!
