I dont like what I see going on right now. Strong consensus early, and me scoffing at excitement on monday, becoming a believer by last might 00z, seeing media folks go nuts and now seeing complete model schizophrenia. It would mess with a lot of peoples heads including my own to lose this. It isnt common to have strong early consensus go awry inside 72h. This is not 2002.

Is it though? It is bizarre behavior but can it truly be discounted?

I think eastern CT is. Once you get to Old Saybrook and points north and east. Places like Pawcatuck consider themselves the same town as Westerly... You have to split the state in half. Eastern CT is where the New England accent picks back up and those people associate with places like Warwick.

Hmm....

The Euro still buries me. Now we need to trend back towards more peach colored blobs on snowfall model maps for maximum enjayment.

NeverMind my last question it’s the same thing. I DONT actually think this is gonna go away. I think it’s waffling. If the EURO reflects the CMC trend then I will begin to be bothered. And news outlets are running amok with this thing. I’ve never heard CNN come out and say, “well yesterday we really thought a bomb cyclone was gonna happen but now we don’t think so”. I’m sure it’s happened but I don’t remember it.

I don’t drink whiskey during a storm. I prefer to experience those sober. I do however occasionally drink it on one of the days leading up to it, and that day could be today. What is the difference between CMC and RDPS? These are Canadian right? I’m a pivotal guy. I am pretty nervous… but again… climo. Seeing such a massive wallop cause Litchfield to smoke cirrus and ACK to be on the western edge of the goods seems just bizarre and rare to me. Another idea if we lose her to the east to me makes me think of the system never bombing out. My intuition, while creeped out, still prompts me to believe this will trend slightly west tonight for 0z. I do not expect mixing problems anywhere on the cape at all, but I did not go to school for this.

Some solutions unfortunately indicating an grazing blow for my region, leaving me hoping that Climo will verify and trend west. GFS looks amazing for many but too narrow and won’t give the goods this far west.

And a good time I think it will be indeed. We are approximately 60 hours from Go time and the east trends seem to be pulling back a bit. When it’s this big and New York office is excited about it… that’s good news. And my mom and I are obsessive Queen fans.

I got in trouble for making a side remark about Covid on Reddit and Covid wasn’t even the focus of my post, a post that actually was otherwise appropriate for the subreddit. I don’t blame not wanting to have politics on here at all yet I also feel bad for getting reprimanded about it because it seems to me like it’s a situation of accidental offending that really is just a matter of containing subject matter in a shape and form that will carry the purpose of this site forward. Which is important cuz there ain’t no other site like it. Who ever lost their parents I feel sad for.

I feel like it’s a situation of the models teasing the bears. And for awhile I might get paranoid that somehow it’s my fault the models are doing that because it seems a lot like what I’ve been actually accusing them of doing… until that part where I actually really get mad myself when that happens because I like 40 inch snowstorms. one could argue that if it only snows over the ocean it will save some lives on the land, but all that means is that other people will get killed out on the roads who would otherwise have not been there if there was 40 inches of snow, people that are not the same people that would have gotten killed by 40 inches of snow.

That’s a lot of snow in meth.

You would probably have known when you applied for homeowners insurance because you might have had trouble getting it. But I digress, the insurance company I represented was a low-risk only company and hated coastal properties. And Florida.

I was being facetious but yes, massive snows can happen almost anywhere on the coast when you go well above the mason-dixon line

Because the model is beside itself about how major this storm really is it cannot believe it’s own calculations.

I don’t know what virus this is. My mom and I have been out of breath a bit and I am still sick. But we both tested negative for Covid I suspect, based on trends that it could be Human Metapneumovirus. After a bit of a sore throat and fatigue this went straight to my lungs overnight. No fever. Human Metapneumovirus usually isn’t serious but causes mild shortness of breath and asthmatic flare ups.

New York Office, you dingbat pomperbottle

I told you. Climate change is causing an increase in monumental blockbusters over the entirety of New England, commingling with the occasional winter without 1 inch of snow on Nantucket.

18z runs are comparatively sketchy to 0z and 12z ones anyway and the 18 GFS still slugs us pretty dang good

The details are still sketchy at 4 days out but wow the consensus. I pulled up just a few maps and it was all I needed to see. I couldn’t unsee it. The orange. The blinding orange.

I dunno if it’s just me but it seems like models predict Southeast Coast snowstorms more often than they actually materialize. and climatologically, the snowstorm is more likely to pound inland southern New England than the coast.

Good for her. I can’t speak for everyone but I always say that if somebody has been experiencing some kind of substance abuse problem, they ought to look into ADHD. The reason ADHD is implicated in substance abuse is because there is insufficient dopamine…. Which prompts the victim to act out in various ways as the body tries to garner dopamine… like buying a Mercedes when you make 25k per year, or doing meth. But although ADHD meds can be abused, if the patient gets clean first for months and enters into treatment well-supervised and with sober intent, the medication can work out great and actually protect you from substance abuse.

It can be used for pain. Suboxone is an opiate itself but is designed to act in a much safer and stable way in your body. I was never a heroin guy, but before I was stabilized back on my critically-needed ADHD medication, I would self medicate on Kratom. So when I cleaned up, my psychiatrist who specializes in mental illness and substance abuse put me on a long Suboxone taper for coming off Kratom, and I got back on an amphetamine-based ADHD medication. And some antipsychotics because I actually probably have schizophrenia. My ADHD is no silly case of a college student needing to focus on exams. My ADHD is actually very dangerous, and the two decades in which I went without treating it were the worst decades of my life. Severe ADHD can get you killed. It is very ironic that my medication is chemically related to a substance that almost got me killed…. But I don’t even feel it much… I have done well for a very long time now with it and it just changes my entire personality for the better and it shields me from having addictive vulnerability.

That’s exactly how I feel. It’s a viral sore throat, specifically inflammation and pain located right where my sinuses meet my throat… but this is situated in my right hand sinus and side of throat but not the left. It has always been common for me with viral sore throats that sometimes it is located at a specific spot in there…. Randomly located within the region where the sinuses drain into the throat but above the tonsils. That is where the viruses I get tend to set up shop first. But this sore throat is different in that it feels much more intense and less superficial than colds I’ve had in the past. I am prescribed Suboxone at a very low dose for a long time now but tonight I bumped it up just because I was suffering and yet I am STILL feeling the bad sore throat.

A lot of people, like my family, are politically oriented for thinking the virus is not dangerous and the mandates are just “government control” of course, we were all prudent enough to get the vaccine. But it is very easy for people not to feel threatened by something now that it’s just been 2 years of daily media sensation combined with not personally getting sick the whole time even if you’re not a conspiracy person.
