This must have been a helluva storm - would have been one to chase:

NOAA NCEI Climate on Twitter: "The Great Appalachian Storm of 1950 ranks as a Category 5 snowstorm for the Ohio Valley on the Regional Snowfall Index: https://t.co/fucDWdLeLQ https://t.co/JZwHKL4diB" / Twitter

Everyone is frustrated to some extent by now. I know I am. But I also know the best course of action is to mask up and keep a safe distance from people not in your bubble, until a vaccine is widely available to the general public. I have a class to teach next week, and I, and the students, will be wearing masks. Luckily it is a small group so I can keep them reasonably separated as well.

Disagree with you friend on many points but we'll agree to disagree. 

That's fine, but the science is sound. There is nothing baseless about these protocols. They are inconvenient for sure, but sometimes we sacrifice and do things for the greater good.

8 months I've been on the street in the thick of it in general public  . Everyone is wearing masks,  socially distancing when possible and washing hands . This notion that droves of people aren't is bull. I'm out here every day . We know who is most vulnerable.  We have for months . Resources have been in place for these groups and will continue to be. There's no science that supports schools being shuttered or sports of any kind ..period . The state playing pingpong with businesses is so wrong and unfortunate.  Broad brushing draconian restrictions isn't the the answer.  If there's going to be restrictions then it should be targeted to specific zipcodes or  very county specific.

I agree the majority of people comply and wear masks and socially distance. Is that possible with kids playing organized contact sports though? Kids are natural vectors for disease, even though they may not even exhibit symptoms, and then they go home and spread it in the household.

I appreciate this has been a polite discussion so far, but let’s end it now because I don’t think anyone’s mind is changing.

Ravens will be even more limited for the Steelers game, not that it will probably matter much.

Dobbins and Ingram are covid positive, and are out. Gus the Bus or bust?

Big bust.

Just don't bring back that Vienna sausage and Spaghetti-Ohs dish that you put up in here this past spring!

Oh, sh*t, now I've done it! 

[BristowWx]

 That may be the only kind of pattern where the closed low really generates its own cold air.  It’s the baked Alaska pattern.  We are the ice cream.

My cue for paying attention to LR snow chances is 10 weeks after Ji cancels winter for the10th time for the upcoming season.   So yeah, it's getting close!
