This. We have access to like 20 sites around DFW with collocated tipping buckets and disdrometers, and also have radar based QPE point measurements over each site. Tipping buckets on average seem to run about 5-10% lower than disdrometers. The radar estimates are pretty close to the tipping buckets or a shade higher, but with more variability... (maybe a function of beamheight or X band attenuation in given events?). But really there's nothing like a stratus gauge... too bad you need the man in the loop.

Are you talking about the website? The radar hasn't changed. And no matter what you think of the new site (we mostly all agree) the "justification" was more of a hard technical requirement with flash going out of support.

First one showed up today just as the red azalea began to bloom. Shows up without fail at exactly this time every year.

Not sure how much is known for sure but a formal study is underway now or soon https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2021-04-19-human-challenge-trial-launches-study-immune-response-covid-19 There have been reports in papers of overall less severe symptoms in reinfection cases but the data remains pretty sparse... That's probably a good thing...
-
Also reinfection appears to behave similarly as post vaccine infection, which is to say, less severe. Worth noting that the Danish study suggests elderly reinfection potential is a lot higher with only like 50% reduced risk. But for <65 the reinfection protection is very high, nearly 90%.
-
Officially confirmed cases of reinfection are absolutely miniscule, but I think it requires viral sequencing to verify, which is obviously impractical. So the much larger sample sized studies using pre and post vaccine/infection PCR tests are relied on, even with some known behavioral biases and false positive potential (esp post covid)
-
Antibody response is significantly higher with the vaccine but overall immunity appears to better with natural immunity. They haven't totally pinned down the mechanism but there are several hypothesized reasons. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/371/6529/eabf4063 Also there was an easily googleable Danish study that calculated a >80% reduced risk of reinfection, compared to the 60-72% reduced risk of infection from the vaccines that was mentioned in the post earlier from King's College.

I agree but note I didn't post this here and that statement was within the unseen context of other articles that I posted that did examine such

Trader Joe's is cheap for the most part, on almost everything except maybe produce. Definitely cheaper than your average big supermarket and WF? LOL.
-
You think they'll look at a 15' pile of snow 3 weeks after a firm closing date, in a low snowfall winter with a near record melt off, and maybe go a little easier next year?
-
Milk drinking is way way down though so stable is up if demand still means anything
-
Folks should sell their houses high and move to Burptown where it's still nice and cheap. Sure snowfall will be hit and miss, but we're practically Kansas in the warm season
-
I liken it more to hoping the tornado intercept vehicle goes to the moon... yeah there will be some collateral damage, but play stupid games...
-
EF0 near Grandview EF0 in Weston EF2/ 120MPH in Ellis Co that crossed I35 And a fifth tornado in Hood Co that they have not released the deets yet edit- Hood Co, EF0
-
EF2, 130MPH for the Blum tornado
-
Lots of ground reports of a large TOG near Blum/ Johnson Co
-
Tornado warning in Collin Co near Celina
-
New TOR coming just to their south -edit maybe they reconsidered
-
TOR on that cell -edit... apparently spotters confirmed TOG, though may have been brief
-
why pay the entry fee when there are so many underpasses available? At any rate, we're seeing a pretty classic touching off of supercells right now
-
hopefully it all goes to zero, nothing personal folks
-
More heavy rain
-
Zero confirmed tornadoes in FWDs CWA in April. But several nasty hail events.
-
If Texas Roadhouse caused your restaurant to close, Texas Roadhouse isn't your problem.

Goggles too prolly.
