    Thank you Uncle.

    Was inevitable.  Most healthcare workers will get it. 

    My friend is a doctor in Brooklyn (whose hospital was featured in The New York Times a few weeks ago due to the early tsunami of patients) who got it.  Seems mild fatigue was his only symptom and it subsided in about two days.  The diversity of outcomes is fascinating and scary and will make for really interesting research papers that I am sure are already being worked on.  Hopefully yours is equally mild, feel better soon.

    Fair enough...but you agree that we’re royally screwed financially?

    It's definitely a serious pickle.  Our monetary and fiscal policy looks too similar to the setup which led to the Japanese Lost Decade, our demographics and economic style both point to low growth.  I complained last year to anyone who'd listen that it was abnormal and unhealthy for stock prices to climb like 25% without comparable earnings growth.  I think people have forgotten what the stock market actually is, to be honest.  At least, the retail investors all have.  Or, they never understood it anyway.

    The ensembles were never particularly great day 11+. It may just be that they are getting posted more with the rise of social media. So they are now coming under greater scrutiny.

    Absolutely agree.  To borrow an investing phrase, people are "reaching for yield" because the shorter-term forecasts are brutal for snow chances, and we're looking into less-reliable products hoping for hope.

    Also since this is the general OBS thread I'd like to OBS that it's brutally cold outside and my body is not ready because I was hiking in shorts last weekend and I have no idea what's going on anymore.

    At this point my mentality is if it's not going to snow, may as well be warm, I don't mind the mild weather. The worst patterns to me are when it's cold but then storms track to the west and we warm and up and get rain.

    Well you're definitely getting some warm(ish) and rain the next two days.  We might see some ridging this winter that allows for a warm and dry scenario.  I think some model posts showed it in this thread.
