Pretty steep llvl lapse rates and strong llvl shear FTW

could see some squalls maybe tomorrow (perhaps moreso NYS, VT, and western MA)

Yeah the HRRR has been pretty consistent with that bowing feature. Also want to add something for folks but this is a situation where the strongest winds are going to be on the leading edge of the line. It will still be gusty under the rain but the rain-cooled air will quickly reduce winds. This is for those who "meh" things when under the line

let's do it!

HRRR pretty bullish with a few decent UD swaths...not likely but certainly room for a brief tornado as well today

Beer does that to me now too. I have zero clue how I could drink 10-15+ Miller Lites at one point. I drink 1-2 beers now and I'm fine. One Saturday or Sunday a month I'll go to brunch in either Bethal or Danbury for bottomless mimosas...talk about getting put to sleep.

I can't believe I get to go storm chasing tomorrow!!!! Only to the airport but it's something. Severe season is here.

I'll give it a shot. I prefer white wine over red...one of my friends used to always call me out on it lol (like WTF cares).

I love Barefoot Pinot Grigio...haven't had it though it a few years. Actually I think the last time I had it was at a New Years Party like 3 years ago when I drank a 1.75mL bottle in 75 minutes...yeah that was a mistake

There are some situations that does scare me from sleeping lol. I've always wanted to try meditation though...I would really love that. seltzers...where is the puke emoji??????

When I go to bed I usually watch an episode of something on Netflix on my phone (been into Shameless), then I'll listen to a few ASMR videos on YouTube (which really get me to sleep fast) but I have a terrible problem of waking up so often during the middle of the night...and before this can be attributed to phone use or whatever else I've had this issue my entire life (I do have ideas as to why that is). I've always seemed to have my best sleeps when during the hours of like 6-7 AM and early afternoon...that's why at one point I wanted to get a job doing overnights. I think when I was young I was so afraid of people breaking into the house that I was terrified to sleep at night so I would try to force myself not to sleep.

eh sometimes some of these studies are kind of ridiculous b/c they are only focusing on one thing and trying to make a one-to-one correlation. Life is complex...there is no one-to-one correlation.

what also needs to be taken into account is the use of devices such as cell phones and electronics prior to going to bed.

I'm pumped to get my second shot next Tuesday. I originally took the day after off jus tin case but my co-worker has to get all four of his wisdom teeth taken out the day I get my shot so I'm just going to work from home the day after and fight through whatever side effects I have. My shot is 11:00 AM so based on info I've gathered from those who had gotten their second shot I'm anticipating side effects kicking in late afternoon/early evening, feeling like crap all night and into the morning then rapidly improve from there.

yeah I'm a little disappointed. The guy at the package store said this was very good but its meh

beer never made me gain weight...nothing makes me gain weight.

Got this for the Bruins game tonight. I love trying all different types of IPA’s...especially doubles and triples...only issue is the stronger ones give me heartburn

taken just prior to the blizzard of 1888

what's more productive than cracking open beer?

11 days!!!

The GFS now gets into severe season!!!

eh those hourly things are kinda crap

I think there are hundreds or even thousands of different strains but the ones you hear most commonly about are the ones which are said to more more contagious and in the case of the Brazilian variant, more deadly. But this is why you get some who test positive but never display symptoms b/c they likely had a strain that just wasn't potent...and this lead to the questions about whether those who are asymptomatic can be spreader or not. The virus can mutate all it wants...so long as any of the mutations that develop aren't more contagious or deadly and the ones that are more commonly discussed about are ones that fit these profiles. There is actually also a New York variant which is believed to be the #1 spreader here in CT.

Per the IHME model (which I was a little skeptical of last summer but it's actually been quite solid overall) we probably won't drop below 500 deaths a day for perhaps another month. Projections are for them to remain steady or slightly increase moving into the first week of May. The model has been wavering back and forth with the <500 threshold but I think that is mostly due to some of the new variants. I can see an increase over the next few weeks b/c overall serious/critical cases have risen over the past few weeks. Also per the model, daily infections should really start plummeting moving through the final weeks of April
