We ended up with about 5-6" depending where you measure. I didn't go out in the yard though. Just measured off the top of the outside toy box and the railing on the porch.

We have a lot of snow and it’s still snowing. It’s so beautiful out though. Perfect white Christmas!

We got a bunch of snow. I can't even remember the last time we had a white Christmas.

We are buried in snow! We have over 2 feet outside and it’s still snowing (not nearly as bad though). The boys are so excited to play out in it again today. I’m going to take them to BILs to play there since they have a bigger backyard and well we always have them over here. I’ll sip hot cocoa with SIL and DH/BIL can play with the boys in the snow.

I wish I could show the photo. My friend was at the grocery store and took a photo of a man using boxer briefs as a mask and buying natty light. For some reason nothing in the photo shocks me.

I've given up on tracking the numbers. I don't know how much I even believe them at this point.

My neighboris still in the hospital, last I heard he's on a ventilator and they let her come in to see him before they flipped him on his stomach because apparently that can help. That was a few says ago. She's had a lot of family visiting, spending the night, etc, which I'm side eyeing, but I'm also sure it would be really hard to be alone.
I'm very skeptical of the numbers as well

I don’t buy it. Maybe people just aren’t testing? ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201228/e2647e925a8a60b88b0e53035e3864db.jpg)

I believe the reported numbers are “real” in that they accurately reflect what is being tested/reported positive.
Do I believe it accurately represents every single positive case in Ohio? No, simply because not everyone is getting tested. Could be because they don’t have access, they don’t care, or simply choose to quarantine without waiting for a result. My daughter was exposed and I could have tested her. Instead we just isolated for 14 days and went on our way. I think a lot of people are doing that.
I think the most important number is percent positive tests, plus hospitalization and ICU trends. Looking at the raw positive numbers isn’t going to give you a full picture.

You’re right about watching the hospitalizations.

When H was sick over Thanksgiving we were told to presume all of us were positive as well as we all ended up symptomatic except for one of the kids. Our pediatrician offered to send the kids to be tested but agreed with my thinking of what's the point? We're quarantined anyway so why put our 7 month old through a swab and risk exposure in the event that it isn't covid?
I feel like a lot of people are now thinking that way. I know a few other families that have had a similar philosophy once one is positive or has the telltale sign of loss of taste and smell.

With my current experience with my sister they are encouraging to no test just assume positive and quarantine.
Problem is they aren’t quarantined

Wooooooooooow to the hospitalizations, bettyFauci said it’s still going to get worse. I wish they’d get the vaccines out more quickly but we have buffoons running the show right now.
