PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
My father is 72 and still working full time running a library district. It’s not a physical job, but he commutes and hour each way and manages a staff and a multimillion dollar budget. He’s retired twice only to back out at the last minute. He has high blood pressure and cholesterol and takes medications for that and Afib, but he’s in pretty good physical shape overall. He’s at an age where he could go at any time, but at the same time could easily have another good 15 years.
Thats quite a task.
High blood pressure, cholesterol/triglycerides, numerous other issues that Americans battle - like diabetes, dementia, kidney or lung issues all hanging around our doors waiting to jump us. We’ll all have something in our 70’s.
I’ve only known 1 person with none of these and lung cancer hit them at about 82.
I don’t think they want us to live that long. Too much of a strain on their actuarial tables! And social security.
