I'm just hoping and praying for 2010/2011 which will render this moot. Plenty of fine skiing to be had without crossing state lines if we all have snow.

Wow, pushing 140kts FL

Yep, 2 in ICU in the entire Baystate system. https://www.wwlp.com/news/health/coronavirus-local-impact/baystate-health-42-hospitalized-patients-with-covid-19-2-in-icu/ Zero in the Cooley Dickinson system. And as far as I can tell zero in any other systems out here.

Yeah with only 99.3% of W MA ICU beds not occupied by Covid patients and 1 new confirmed case in Hampshire county something had to be done statewide

It's a frickin breeze. Plenty of parking. No security lines, Super fast boarding. Rows to yourself. Cheap tix.

RIP Sean Connery

Coffee and fresh snow FTW Happy Halloween!

Sun poking out...

I was at UMass this morning and it was solid moderate SN just refusing to stick

Really is amazing how much difference 200-300' can make around here. South Amherst especially the BL is just a furnace always.

2.5"

That U/L jet just rages overnight. In a related note... SIGMETs for severe turbulence between TX and the midwest today. Rough ride.

Advy hoisted for 1-3"? I do get why, but I guess I wasn't sure they had the leeway

with the cold air filtering in late it's probably a snow stuck to trees look here in the lowlands anyway

The wheel has no memory, but it tattoos Oct snow totals on its arm

Maybe 1/14/99 storm you were thinking about? Paper attached 26215320.pdf

I directly quoted a chart of Spain and was referring to such. It's similar for France and a lot of Europe. The US is a large, demographically diverse country with different considerations. I stand by my statement that the lag time is long since built in. And obv with more cases come more deaths at a lag, but there is zero doubt that CFR has fallen drastically based on those graphs.

look at that chart again... Cases have been setting daily records for 2 Mos. Yes, I know asymptomatic testing is a factor. But the case spike is not new.

The chart is probably a lot more telling about socialization habits than covid. Chicago is masked up and covid is exploding, but nobody knows their neighbors so it's cool. Meanwhile deaths are nowhere close, not in the same stratosphere as the spring. So either a) the virus has weakened b) the treatments have improved c) vitamin d helps a lot d) the weakest are already dead e) way, way more people had it in the spring than they knew about f) all of the above Regardless, deaths don't lie. It ain't what it used to be, a fact we should celebrate not deny.

European masks must really, really suck.

VT peeps high fiving eachother over travel bans "they still think this is about the covid LOL"

yes. Unfortunately they did away with boat rentals this year however. Maybe they thought covid likes to hang out outside on polished aluminum.

Fishing is banned like everything else.

Similar effect here. Quabbin like glass.

Honestly, it's probably the single best thing about living here, that and the fact we're in a narrow stripe striking distance to N VT mountains and outer cape beaches. I get over to Quabbin almost daily, relaxing, and seemingly never exactly the same.
