Up here with much less traffic the barrier has been said to be 80mph for getting pulled over by a trooper.  I paid a ticket for 79mph between Waterbury and BTV on I-89 in college (dry roads, daytime visibility).  Trooper even brought the radar gun up to my window to show me, ha.  Ironic that with wide open, lower traffic levels you can get popped at 80 up here... but down there in Mass it seems like 80-90mph can be steady bumper to bumper in the left lane with no issue.  It's exciting driving south of the MA/NH or VT border.

I'm a grandpa on the highway, and a maniac in the city. My fiance loses it. I drive like an insane yellow cab taxi driver. That's real driving. You can cut so much time out of city driving just knowing how to time lane changes and lights. I enjoy it. BPD too busy to care to pull anyone over for speeding on a city street if it's rush hour or a work day.

Health scares like some of us have are a good reminder to cherish every day. Life is short. Smile and greet the people in your neighborhood. Ask your co-workers how they are doing. Keep in touch with family as much as you can. All the money in the world cannot replace misspent time focused on the wrong things. 

Most of all, take your personal fitness seriously. Obesity keeps our Healthcare system in business. You only get one body. Take care of it. Keep that heart pumping and the cardiovascular system healthy. Not only will it make you feel better, even give you a buzz during the day, but it will improve healing and circulation throughout your muscles and joints. Thus leading to better aging. I'm trying to buy back in myself. Been killing the peleton. Didn't do it this week. Bummer. 

Smart words from a smart man…:weight_lift:

I try to stay within 5mph above speed limit. I’m especially slow on the two lane opposing traffic highways with yellow line. Offset head-ons are devastating, and frankly, I’m extremely unpopular for this but I truly believe you should never have speed limits on those type of roads be more than 40 mph. 55 mph head on offset crash and you’re likely dead.

Me and my wife got hit head on at 45 in Shrewsbury, she almost went through the windshield, to this day she has back problems she never had, I do too but always had them. It was a drunk driver that came into out lane one week after he got out of jail for DUI.

Ugh, so sorry. It could have easily been me that did that to you...so glad I quit years ago.

Horror stories every day on the roads. People need to slow down.

Guidance looking slightly better at 00z so far. Not a big change but this is the first run that’s getting a piece of that energy offshore sampled better. 

Should be fully sampled tomorrow at 12z. Another small step NW would make a big difference.

Hi everyone!  Thanks so much for the multitude of good wishes-it means a lot and touches my heart!  We were watching a movie around 12:30AM when out of nowhere I got lightheaded and experienced severe vertigo.   I also got nauseous and thought I was having a heart attack even though I didn’t have much chest pain.  On the way to the emergency room my wife had to pull over twice for me to vomit.  Got to the emergency department and kept barfing.  EKG, cardiac enzymes, brain ct and mri were normal, stress test normal-still occupying the barfarama.   Neurologist wanted to ensure it was not a stroke that occurred.  The strange thing is I did the stress test around 2 and wondered for the life of me how I was going to do it with nausea but as I worked out the nausea disappeared-no idea why!  Neurologist thinks it may be inner ear problem but honestly once the big stuff is ruled out it’s an educated guess.

Waiting to be discharged and wondering what caused the symptoms-even got a Covid test which was negative.  I’m tired-slept maybe 1 hour last night and dozed a bit today.

I am so touched by the outpouring here-I love our wx community!

One more thing-this threat isn’t dead!  I’m not scoring the models until verification time.  Hopefully it happens!  I like how cold Canada is-we’ll get ours soon!

 

Really really glad you are okay! This place would never ever be the same without you!
