CT Rain Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Slight risk from SPC for a good chunk of western areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def possibility for a spin up if sufficient instability can be realized. Always the possibility in these setups so they’re tough to forecast but with the lack of an inversion than enhances the likelihood of getting robust enough updrafts to utilize the shear aloft.

There’s also talk of doing away with the mortgage interest deduction too in order to pay for the ultra rich’s tax cuts?? Oy vey No shame. Yeah from what I read that one seems safe, but SALT (state and local taxes) seems at risk. Bad for high tax states like RI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I can think of is kids crushing up ice cubes and throwing them off a bridge on I-84 based on satellite/radar/obs. Condensation of exhaust from the construction equipment east of city center? That I-84 rebuild has been going on since shortly after Henry Ford patented his first automobile.

I don't understand the issues with this road as opposed to other shi*y, poorly designed roads. I think what fascinates me the most about most traffic accidents is that they seem to occur because people are too anxious and need to travel 1 or 2 car lengths behind the person in front of them. And then if you do not do that, the person behind you lays on the horn because you are so far behind the car (maybe 5 car lengths), thus delaying his ride. I am not saying that is your issue with the road, or that the road has issues because of people driving bumper to bumper, but it seems more times than not that bumper to bumper idiots are a major cause of congestion/ accidents on interstates. Is odd that people are so impatient when driving as it is one of the most dangerous things most of us do on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's both the road and drivers, but I-84 is awfully narrow for the volume of drivers and can be very clogged during rush hours. That's why y'all see many anxious drivers on I-84, which can lead to more aggressive driving by idiots. Road is a lot better once you're past Hartford heading toward Massachusetts, though. It's the Danbury to Hartford section I have an issue with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Danbury to Hartford section I have an issue with. Speed is another issue. The speed limit is 50-55 for a large portion, though it does go up west of Waterbury. Despite a 55MPH speed limit, cars routinely want to drive 70. I've driven in every state and I've never understand the mentality I see around urban areas. I can drive 10 miles over the speed limit in rural areas and pass 90% of the traffic but as you approach an urban area and the density of traffic increases, you're passed by 90% of the traffic when you still going 10 over. You'd think that the higher density would lead to more cautious driving but it's the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that the higher density would lead to more cautious driving but it's the opposite. I'm not going to lie...I usually do around 70 mph. I probably average around 70-73 mph but part of that is mainly due to the fact that I drive in the left lane and people start riding my ass. I get annoyed when people continue to do it even when I'm pushing 75 mph. I know I could easily switch lanes but I prefer to get in the left lane and stay there and for a few reasons; 1) when I'm traveling back to Danbury I avoid merging traffic from New Britain just past exit 36 is it? 2) When you get towards Waterbury and everything shifts from 4 lanes to 2 I'm already in the left lane and don't have to worry and I don't have to worry about merging traffic from people coming in from the on ramps. 2) When I'm going back to west Hartford my exit is a left exit. One area that always has horrendous accidents is between exits 30-32 on I-84, both west bound and east bound and that just boggles me b/c it's a straight-a-way...there's no turns or curves or anything. Seems like there's at least one accident on that stretch every other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
