  1. Like 99% of social media folks they just love to bitch and moan with little or no basis, other than they would always do everything better than everyone else! You were spot on, as were most of the forecasts...
  2. Semi retirement... but given the stressful nature of that portion of my work, it feels like retirement...
  3. Loved working with your district! In the end, it came down to too just too many clients. I was up to 115 districts, add to that a few dozen other clients and all of my forensic work something had to give! I'm at the point in my life where I wasn't looking to hire other Mets and run a multi employee business. By far the school portion of my work was the most stressful and the liabilities were worrisome. I will be dealing with winter weather clients but in a much less stressful fashion.
  4. Lol... Which mean almost all of them (115) since I've retired that part of my business! Going to be fun winter mornings for me this year... Still lots of forecasting, but no schools...
  5. It's the most variable parameter of all... Only a handful of solid accurate observation locations; along with tons of extremely poorly sites instruments that in no way measure true wind speed at tree top level. A simple wind analysis shows tremendous variability across very small distances; even on the same street!
  6. Widespread 45-50 mph; but with the low-level jet racing just overhead I think you can't dismiss quite a few 50+ gusts; focused on southern third of CT; coastal plain and hills of northeast and northwest CT. Playing with fire with that low-level jet making 2 passes over us... any hint of slightly destabilized low-level atmosphere, convective elements and it's off to the races. If the daylight hours Saturday stay mostly rain-free we could add some sneaky warming into the lower levels??? I know many setups under-perform, but there are some impressive items in play here. Add fully leafed trees (heavy wet leaves), and things could go south quickly, unless everything shifts south.
  7. I guess if OKX says it, it must be true; lol
  8. Thanks Steve... I have been following the data on your page, which is great, but wasn't sure actual maps were available anywhere?
  9. What is the general list of parameters available from weathernext3?
  10. You took the words right out of my mouth... I was going to post the exact thing several times over the past couple of days, but said screw it... Folks were more excited about cheering on STEIN than enjoying a complex evolution of a potent Nor'easter. The constant "meh" stuff has gotten beyond old... To be successful on this board all you need to do is type any of the 3 words / terms; torch, Stein or meh...
