After the lockdown, India can now see the sky. It's interesting to see, how these 2-3 months of stoppage around the world, will effect the air quality and the weather.

Yeah, who knows... Maybe there will be a Winter season next year? :dunno:

Here in California it seems like our winter can late. The last month has just been rainstorm after rainstorm :d

The snowpack is great, but all the resorts are closed :(

Reminds me of Venice where all of a sudden the whole thing looks way healthier than it does with a gazillion tourists strolling around everywhere. Nature is loving this :p 

 

Have you looked up to the sky (on a non-cloudy day) these days yet? Instead of dozens and dozens of those trails from planes, there's blue sky without a single non-cloud thing blocking it :wub:

Man, California rarely gets April snowstorms, but we’re getting a massive one (at least for SoCal) this week. However, all the resorts are closed, so they can’t cash in on it (and skiers can’t ski). It’s really sad because this may have been the longest ski season in SoCal in the 21st century. We got snow in early November, and the mountains have had enough since then.

Mississippi was targeted big time by tornadoes yesterday, damn. At least 8 deaths and there's still places with basically no contact (like tiny Bassfield where what looked like an EF5 tornado, the strongest category, passed right over it, and so far only a few photos of total destruction appeared).

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
