BIG STORM POTENTIAL
This map shows the players and this pattern set up has produced some very classic or prolific snowstorms for the I 95 corridor from DC to Baaastan! It looks really good no but time will tell.
Time frame would be from Sunday night through Tuesday morning time frame.
DO not ask me how much just know there is potential for a big storm during this time frame.

The big story in the long term remains the low pressure system
Sunday into late Monday, which could be a classic
What has changed: No major changes with this forecast update.
Guidance came in to some better agreement with the track of the
low, but even with the minor differences, could result in
significant changes as far as impacts to our region. Thus, for
the latest forecast update, stayed close to the previous
forecast and a blend of guidance.
QUICK RECAP
Measured 1.5” from yesterday’s storm the GFS did well with the precip types and amount but was a bit over measuring on the maps I posted Sunday for this storm. We had two rounds of precip one had snow to ice to rain and the other was just snow. Beautiful scene when I woke up this morning – looked and surely felt like winter outside – Snow Princess, Queen would concur!
VID Testing NYT
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testing.html
This is becoming almost laughable on the update of this article that I posted back in August as well. 10% – maybe – have contagious infection of the VID and need to possibly quarantine. He makes great points about this,
EXCERPT:
Officials at the Wadsworth Center, New York’s state lab, have access to C.T. values from tests they have processed, and analyzed their numbers at The Times’s request. In July, the lab identified 872 positive tests, based on a threshold of 40 cycles.
With a cutoff of 35, about 43 percent of those tests would no longer qualify as positive. About 63 percent would no longer be judged positive if the cycles were limited to 30.
In Massachusetts, from 85 to 90 percent of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles, Dr. Mina said. “I would say that none of those people should be contact-traced, not one,” he said.
(LET THIS SINK IN!)
Other experts informed of these numbers were stunned.
“I’m really shocked that it could be that high — the proportion of people with high C.T. value results,” said Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute. “Boy, does it really change the way we need to be thinking about testing.”
Dr. Jha said he had thought of the PCR test as a problem because it cannot scale to the volume, frequency or speed of tests needed. “But what I am realizing is that a really substantial part of the problem is that we’re not even testing the people who we need to be testing,” he said.
THIS IS FACTUAL AND NOT SOME FAKE NEWS – get with it folks you are being had as I said in my last post by this false and fake information fear mongering panic of POSITIVE TESTS. If you are feeling well and healthy why the hell would you get tested? What 3 logical reasons would you do so? would you go get tested for the regular flu, pneumonia, bubonic plague, cancer if you felt well??
Do what you want but it just fuels the agenda and fire of this. Hey was it bad in the spring ABSOLUETLY, is it as bad now or since May, NO WAY.
Updates to come.
