    Even first week of December is pretty hostile from a climo standpoint...yeah we get a few large exceptions like last year, 2003, etc, but for the most part we really start getting historically better storms after the first week or so.

    Even in a lot of our fast start La Ninas like 1970, 1975, 2007, 2008, 2017, etc....the snows really come in more toward mid month or in the case of 2008 and 1975, less than a week before Xmas. It's still a positive sign to see the pattern trying to shuffle though in the first week of December because if it gets pushed out a week, then we're still only into mid-December when snowfall climo is ramping up quickly.

    Yep I agree. I usually start looking ahead in early December to see if there's any hopes for mid/late December for my own sanity. Obviously if I see chatter of a favorable pattern I'll check in and invest a bit.  But I also live down here, where peak climo favors mid to late Feb. 

  2. Ditch the surgical masks and go with some KN95's on ebay (I like the Powecom ones). Can get them for abou $1.50 or $2.00 a pop at most...and you can re-use. Surgical or cloth masks might work somewhat on droplets, but near useless for airbone covid. I've always thought this though, and not just saying it because of the Danish study. 

  3. Maybe this was already brought up, but apparently the Pfizer vaccine needs to be chilled at -70 degrees and goes bad after 5 days out of those temperatures. Seems like that could pose a lot of distribution issues in worse off countries that don't have the required storage. I don't know if that temp is any different than what other vaccines require either, so it might not be that big a deal.

    After Donald Trump, we certainly do live in a world where lies don't matter.  Blatantly false information repeated over and over.  Leaders of other nation's are starting to see it too... if you peddle lies long enough, they start to become truth.  It must be exhausting to try and cover every lie from the President, some tried but many failed.

    There was plenty of lying and gaslighting from both the media and the President. Both can be true. 

    Biden will lie - but he will do so in a presidential manner and in an ideologically aligned manner that's acceptable to many activists disguised as journalists in the MSM. I just avoid all network/cable news stations for the most part.

    I’m not a fan of wiping out an entire species of animal in a country to protect ourselves from another strain. It’s a bad precedent. 

    Same. I can understand population mgmt in certain animal species but this seems medieval and excessive.
