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
I live in one of the most heavily vaxxed cities in Canada, and the only discernible health impact here is the abnormally low death rates from COVID (in what is Canada's densest city, with many people living in large apartment buildings with interior corridors, i.e. an environment where one would expect infection and death rates to be abnormally high).
Anyone who was claiming the vaccines would prevent all infections was lying. That was not the point, and the data always indicated that breakthrough infections were very much a thing. The point was that even breakthrough infections tended to be less serious, usually resolving themselves with home care, thus saving lives and taking burden off hospitals.
Yes, the J&J and AstraZenica (the latter of which was not even used in the USA) vaccines had more side effects, and were eventually withdrawn as such, but even in those the side effects were REALLY rare. I had the J&J vaccine and wasn’t even worried about the severe side effects, which were limited to women of childbearing age, a demographic of which I am not a member. And even for that demographic they were VERY rare. The incidence of severe side effects from COVID infection was far worse.
