I just want an inch or so....Just get me to 50" and Boston to 40"...all I care about.

Very achievable in your spot. 

looks like Heavy Rain ending as a coating on the grass down here. it's fine, not invested at all. 

Murray is good. But not much else

Wait I though first shot gives you 97% immunity and second is a booster

Im not sure. It could also be a case where he's had it in his system for a while..and the test is just now picking it up. At some point when most are vaccinated..we need to move away from these extra sensitive tests.

So Geno Aurrieuma got both shots and then tested positive . That PCR test is a joke.

He had his second shot on March 10..so he wasn't fully immune yet. Despite that, he didn't have any symptoms so its possible it still lessened the severity.

I’ve seen that happen to people during my marathons . Brutal 

probably not worth it if the end result is leg dribble. 

Daylight savings definitely cuts my interest in looking at models unless there's an imminent threat.

Depending on one's income situation, a traditional IRA rather than a Roth IRA might make sense. 

There are some caveats to this, but generally speaking, if you believe your effective tax rate today > your effective tax rate in retirement, you should be plowing money into a traditional IRA rather than a Roth.

 

I thought you can only open a traditional Roth if you're current employer doesn't already offer something similar (401k, profit sharing plan, etc) but I could be wrong

I’d also suggest a Roth IRA. It basically doubles as a savings account.

 

Plus it's post tax. Any contributions to it are already considered as taxed.  After 59 you can deduct any earnings tax free. 

I have Roth IRA (plus a separate one for my wife, which you can do), whole life policy, then dabble in some stocks. 

We have septic too.. I'd be willing to bet there's  covid taint floating around in it. Wife is a long hauler, and no it's not anxiety driven, based on her abnormal EEG results

Probably will be 1-2 more chances mid month and beyond. Snoozefest on models depicted last week has come to fruition for beginning of March. Until then, enjoy days like today.

Just think, if you weren't sitting there on the bowl, reading that issue of Martha Steward Living, well after your doody was done you may not be with us today. 

I found it: though I failed to mention the near fatal shat

•  March 2, 2018

Remember the March 1st 2018 storm? That had some impressive damage, and if i recall on WNW/NW winds?  Almost had a 50ft tree fall on me while I was sitting on the toilet..missed me by about 5ft. 

Edit: I see that it was a Nor'easter..so maybe not NW winds.

The ridge isn't in a terrible spot. It's a little bit east, but nothing crazy....over the Dakotas or so. The bigger problem is you have a negatively tilted trough made up of a massive PV lobe....so you need something to amplify underneath that which is really hard. Not impossible, if you can phase a spoke of PV energy with the southern stream, it's possible. But you can start to envision how much has to go right.

Yeah..I think if there was any inkling of this starting to come together..you'd have a few ensemble outliers trying to make it happen. Ah well, an easy system to never get too invested in anyway as it never made it past day 8 on models

It's already 47° here. Sweet

My 1/5 chance from two days ago is now like 1/20. You need the ridge/trough placements to be off by several hundreds of miles 5/6 days out. Pulling for a miracle but you probably need to see a lot more improvement by 12z today or it's ova

D+/C-

Because I'm bored, the 18z GFS ensembles for day 8 - a few hits, most notably a 956mb near Nantucket. Long shots obviously but fun to look at

I give it a 1/5 shot. Not dead 

Cape sunrise this AM, before it all went to crap

It's closer to the CMC than the GFS, I'll give ya that

Yep, this run the timing is off, but if we can get just a bit more northern stream interaction that will help with the cold air, increase the strength of the low, and bring it farther west. On this run it’s mostly southern stream until a tiny piece of energy from the northern branch phases in last min. All it takes is a small increase in strength as well as a slightly farther south dig from the northern branch and things get very interesting. 

It's day 9 on one of the worst OP models. Not even worth spending 5 seconds on

It's a real snoozefest on models, yikes. Hopefully we can squeeze a little excitement out of the latter half of March

I'd take a March 14' but with that storm a bit closer.

Hard to get excited about Spring this early unless I see something like March '12 in the cards
