That is the worst.  That happened to me 20+ years ago and I spent the night going between the two.  Pardon the pun but it poops you out in more ways than one...:o

You can dehydrate very easily as well so in the battle you have to try to keep the fluids to you.

Back from the dead.  Ended up with what I think was food poisoning on Monday.  2 days later and I'm weak and sore from spending them on/in the toilet. :(

You probably had the norovirus...aka cruise ship virus...its nasty, spreads like wildfire, throwing and going until you feel like you're gonna die...usually it's quick hitting. You didn't miss much, just Ray and Ant dueling over the EPO

From our old eastern Days

Weenie Phrazes

  1. "The trend is your friend."

  7. "The North Trend Will Not Be Denied."
  8. "Winter Cancel!"
  9. "Winter Uncancel!"
  10. "Sleet is like having a hot sister."
  11. "So close, and yet so very far away."
  12. "Why can't I buy a 6+ inch snowfall?"
  13. "The high is 1 mb stronger than progged!"
  14. "My dewpoint is 2F lower than progged!"
  15. "Wow. Dry as a bone. M/D line south get all the fun. Sound familiar? almost like Deja Vu. :axesmiley:"
  16. "My wind direction has yet to shift east."
  17. "We better keep an eye on this one."
  18. "Low forming more west?"
  19. "Low forming more east?"
  20. "This winter would've been a blockbuster for the black market during prohibition. Twice the sales with every missed storm."
  21. "Look at WV, the trof is digging more than progged!"
  22. "Look at the convection off the NC coast, it will pull the low more east."
  23. "What are you complaining about, last year was your winter."
  24. "NAM WRF= Nearly Always Massive, Weather Rarely Follows"
  25. "The low will bomb so quickly, it will produce its own cold air."
  26. "The high is moving east slower than progged."
  27. "The precip is clearly moving north."
  28. "Remember Jan 2000?"
  29. "Strong VV's will mix out the warm air."
  30. "Evaporational cooling will keep it snow."
  31. "It's clear here, radiational cooling will bring temps lower than progged."
  32. "The low is already 2 mb stronger than progged."
  33. "The models are already busting."
  34. "My god, this set-up reminds me of (insert K/U storm here)."
  35. "The NAM is missing that shower over Alabama, throw it out."
  36. "The GFS is missing a sounding from Mexico, throw it out."
  37. "The event is too complicated for the models anyway."
  38. "The NAM is ALWAYS too warm and west."
  39. "Use the GFS for the storm track and the NAM for precip."
  40. "OMG the GFS shifted 2 miles west!"
  41. "What do you mean the boundary layer is too warm, the 850 0C line is south of me!"
  42. "The GFS is ALWAYS too far east!"
  43. "JB said it would snow!"
  44. "Teleconnections do not favor a storm coming inland."
  45. "That drastic shift west on the NAM breaks the trend, throw it out!"
  46. "The ULL will move over me and give me more snow."
  47. "Models can't handle phasing."
  48. "Confluence? It's going to go right up the coast!"
  49. "Using the GFS for guidance based on secondary coastal low formation is like entering a one-legged man in an asskicking contest."
  50. "I will get thundersnow."
  51. "This developing situation resembles the Feb 25 2007 setup where a coating was forecast and we cashed in with a surprize 6 inch snow!"
  52. "The radar is lighting up!"
  53. "Its the 18z GFS, throw it out!"
  54. "The radar is backfilling."
  55. "The secondary is already taking over."
  56. "It's already making the turn."
  57. "The trend is your friend."
  58. "Time to ignore the models!"
  59. "The NAO is tanking!"
  60. "Models haven't picked up the shortwave in Canada yet!"
  61. "The High was initialized too low!"
  62. "The low was intialized too high!"
  63. "The Euro has sucked this year."
  64. "My local TV meteorologist just upped our accumulations, and he normally is really conservative."
  65. "My local tv met just lowered the accumulations, but he is a moron and I don't think he has a met degree."
  66. "The EURO has been bad in the 4 to 7 day range."
  67. "The UKMET and GGEM bring it back to the coast."
  68. "The coastal low is too far south/north/east."
  69. "Did you see the RGEM? Is that thing for f^^king real?"
  70. "The euro must be on crack."
  71. "Remember how the model did with the last storm? It will be wrong with this one!"
  72. "The model is developing the low too far away from the temperature gradient."
  73. "500mb maps clearly argue for the low to be closer to the coast."
  74. "Didn't you see the ensembles?"
  75. "Ratios will give me a foot!"
  76. "Use the NAM for precip and the GFS for storm track."
  77. "It's already busting in Texas!"

Ventured down to Hadley yesterday to finish up some xmas shopping (that I couldn't do online)...

I was blown away at how little snow coverage was left there. Mostly bare ground. I didn't really notice it until I crossed the river in Sunderland; it was like a switch.

Since its snowed, I've only been to brattleboro or greenfield to work, or charlemont to ski. Its a different world down south, glad we don't live there.

Yesterday I had to drive down to Wilbraham for a family thing. I think there was a bit of snow around the Quabbin but once we descended to Belchertown, nada. Meanwhile, we still have snow, the driveway is a mix of ice, frozen dirt (dirt driveway) and packed snow. And while we may not get enough ice to take down trees or branches, we may get enough for someone to slide their way into a tree or power pole. We filled the extra generator gas cans today.

Jinxed it.  Took 36hrs for my daughter to get it.  :yikes:

There isnt a fever attached to the stomach bug, at least mine didn’t. its chills and body aches to start....then full on assualt a$$ cheeks on toilet for 48hrs.

My 20mo old had it first (they posted signs at daycare about it) but he fought it like a champ, then the wife few days later, then I completed the triathalon.
