Loaded more west but keeps a more southern track

Lake enhancement lasts a good 10-12 hours post.

Man if this doesn’t verify well tomorrow, not saying that will be the case, but if it doesn’t this board is gonna lose it

Sad news about Hank Aaron.  

Why am I bringing him up?  On his twitter page, he posted a picture of himself receiving his first dose of the covid vaccine on January 5, and the story was reported on at the time.  

No cause of death has been released yet, and I don't know what his health was, but it will be important to find out why he died especially with being a high profile person and since there have been some stories of old/frail deaths after receiving the vaccine.  People in their 80s die all the time though.

Dang, didn't know that.

Separately, the consistency for west side lake enhancement remains no matter the model shift.

New poll on vaccine support shows more resistance in younger age groups and Republicans/people who voted for Trump.

https://news.yahoo.com/amphtml/less-40-percent-trump-voters-174038879.html

Said it before, but it would be beneficial to see now former pres Trump get vaccinated on camera.  Whether or not he has lingering immunity from being infected in October, it would send a message and may sway some people.

Say we get to 50, 60, 70% of America being vaccinated.  If there's pockets/regions of the country that are running behind the national average, then there's always going to be festering clusters of this thing.  Gotta hope the variants don't start getting around the vaccines as well.  I would think if the vaccines need to be tweaked in the future that they wouldn't have to go through all the trial phases again, but not sure.

Based on the data - if you have 50-60% vaccination then I would think that that plus immunity would put you close to 70%, assuming some of those vaccinated have also had covid.  

As the average continues to tick toward 1 million vaccinations per day, the 100 million in 100 days should be easily attainable, but then again that is less than 20% of the population.  

Now 100 million fully vaccinated in 100 days would be THE goal.

Not even gonna start getting excited until at least the 00z runs tomorrow night.  If we're setting the bar at a shovelable/plowable snow, then I'm feeling that.  

The good news is that the 00z runs still have a big to major hit, just differ on the details.  Near-blizzard conditions (if not outright blizzard conditions in some areas) and impactful ice are looking more and more likely.  

I'll double down on this.  Been too often that this happens only to get jacked with 48 hours.

I think we've all learned that sampling can easily cause this place to erupt in disgust.

Short of calling snowstorms 6 months out, like that guy who makes the MS Paint maps, you won’t beat that call. Damn good forecasting

Well-deserved for the Chicago crew considering the snow drought y'all are experiencing.

Seems too good to be true at this point.  Samples please. 

Sharp cut off.  

Someone gets screwed.  Hopefully ice and sleet are at a min, however doesn't look too likely.

Another day with 4k+ deaths... will be near 200k cases as well... hoping that this is the plateau and things begin a decline.

FWIW, parts of IL are being relaxed a bit.

its the model posting version of angry

The rate of vaccinations is pretty paltry.  I am hoping it is sped up.  IL has a new vaccination dashboard.

The positivity rate in the midwest has come down little by little and this is good.

CA on the other hand.....

 Will be interesting to see if this is going to rise to the bar of needing a snow squall warning.

 

Would love that - hasn't been used yet and would be fun for some convective snow squalls

Why is it a mystery that the same measures to limit spread of coronavirus wouldn't work for a virus that spreads via the same ways, but is MUCH less contagious, has a shorter period of pre-symptomatic spread, and is partially stopped due to herd immunity via flu shots and previous exposure? If that is too much to comprehend...you're probably the same type of person to share a brainless facebook copypasta.

For the record it's not just flu that's down either, RSV and enteroviruses are way down as well.

This sounds too much like science.  You will unfortunately soon be dismissed.  I however agree with you.
