  1. Probably. Mom's has lingered for three weeks. They both tested positive for RSV antibodies. It's all over the place down here in western CT. The clue is that it's course is quite different than the classic cold or COVID.
  2. It's the typical "day 5" loss, followed by a region-crippling blizzard on the NAM at day 3, and then it settles out to be what was forecast at day 6. That's my bet.
  3. 30 years ago, I had to make a career decision: meteorology, or psychiatry. I chose the latter. But it wasn't all lost for the former. A good number of my winter-season patients are meteorologists.
  4. My closest neighbor is about 1/4 mile away. But I ended up with someone's 12-foot rubber reindeer halfway up my Norway spruce. What the hell am I gonna do with it??
  5. 64000 out of power in CT. Highest number out is Guilford at 1800. Highest percentage out is Union at 98% (450 outages).
  6. Power out at 5:54. 200 year old maple came crashing down across the road about a half mile from me.
  7. Just hit my highest gust of the night...46mph. Winds starting to pivot to the south in the last 30 minutes.
  8. I feel better about western CT. I hate wind. PTSD from a childhood experience, I guess.
  9. Special hybrid trees that keep their leaves all year round, just to maximize the destruction.
  10. The pull cord on my brother's generator is busted, so he ordered the plug-in electric cable to start it. Some good that will do when the power's out. He still hasn't realized it.
  11. The storm winds never seem to verify around here. Maybe 1 out of 10 times. What is forecast much better around me are the NW winds on the backside of a departing low.
  12. Bite the pillow- she's going in dry.
  13. Does the wind look to be as bad as last year's 12/22-23 storm, western NE?
  14. Same exact thing here on one of my piles! I thought "There goes another cord of dry wood." Woke up this morning and it didn't budge. Had a gust of 22mph here.
  15. Temp crashed 13.5 degrees in 24 minutes. From 57.6 to 44.1.
