usually these kinds of slips (called expressive errors or paraphasias in writing/typing) happen when the brain is translating thoughts into language faster than the fingers can keep up, annd relying heavily on muscle memory and autopilot.

Interesting stuff! Makes alot of sense

When I was at WestConn, one semester during my broadcasting class I had made a snow map for a potential storm we were getting (I don't remember the year). But I had text saying, totals could shift depending on track...but I wrote shit and didn't catch it until we reviewed the video in class. 

Actually a very apt disclaimer for these past several years.

Just ripped a pretty solid gust here a few minutes ago. I love how every now and then you can hear what sounds like a freight train

Yup, it all adds up.

[TheClimateChanger]

Holy cow! 62F now at BTV, an astounding 13F above the 130-year-old daily record high.

[Damage In Tolland]

It’s here in CT. Gonna be a huge couple hours in the state 

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Wind is here gusting 30-40 ish 

[weatherwiz]

A pretty impressive satellite presentation this morning and you can see some embedded areas of convection which have contributed to some locally stronger gusts. Noticing some breaks too just to our southwest, so something to watch as we move through the next 3-4 hours.

Yeah, just started to rip here in the valley...been sort meh so far

[Ginx snewx]

There are 90 knot winds at 925 just off Long Island 

[Damage In Tolland]

Sirens everywhere 

[weatherwiz]

I would definitely watch for some low topped convection to evolve this afternoon and move across Rhode Island and interior southeast Mass. Wouldn't even rule out the potential for a very brief tornado. You can see some convection developing south of Long Island now. We get any convection with thunder/lightning and we may see some 70-75 mph gusts (not widespread but very localized).

Hilarious. When I lived in Boston, I saw someone down in Hamden post a picture of beautiful mammatus. My mom shares my interest in weather, so I texted her “Hey, I hear you have great mammatus” and sent it out, not realizing it had autocorrected to “Hey, I hear you have great mammaries.” Whoops. 

[UnitedWx]

Nada in Simsbury yet. We rarely roar here anyway.

[weatherwiz]

wow, a mesonet station in Middletown, CT measured 63 mph

[CoastalWx]

It’s roaring now. 57kta GON

[Damage In Tolland]

66 mph GON

So it gets windy after the precip shield? Meh-rrimack valley never does well on these southern gales. So we’ll see. 

[ineedsnow]

In leominster right now and some of these gust are wild all of a sudden

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Don’t think we passed 35-45 and it’s all elevated gusts .. pretty calm last 10 min 

[metagraphica]

66 mph GON

And power is out down here. 28k+ without power in CT at last check.

[Ginx snewx]

Power on and off 10 times at work in Danielson.  My backyard cam . That leaning tree wasn't. Thankfully headed in the woods and not our new chicken coops

[WxWatcher007]

Squall line was legit up here. Had some big gusts right on the edge of the front and then sheets of rain. I learned I'm fairly protected from westerly/southerly winds by the wooded area in the backyard but KSLK gusted to 61. 

The pack barely hung on. Temperature crashed immediately. Temp dropped from 50.8 to 40.3 in 30 minutes. Down to 34.5 now with snow. 

[weatherwiz]

We've steepened up the 2-6km lapse rates well. Gusts here in Springfield are becoming more frequent and a bit stronger too. Really curious to see what the next 1-2 hours brings, especially with the thinning overcast on satellite. 

[TheMainer]

Feels like a weaker 2023, also on a Friday, also our company Christmas party, also rain and wind. Pack is definitely taking a big bit on Dryslot land, hoping when I return home around 7pm I have a few inch pack left that will turn into a glacier tomorrow
