This on visible looks like grumpy old man trying to pet his wife.

Psychologist could run a whole semester on this thread.

That clears it up… old man petting his wife.

All sorts of possibilities in that one!!

Winds are always over done where I am at. One of these times maybe it will over perform.  Looks like moderate minds are calling for 2" in my area.  That could over perform as it did with the last storm we had.  But with it being so spread out, as stated before, just a good excuse to watch football on Sunday. We got to 70 today.  It was a nice day. The leaves have not turned here, just a bit, so this should not ruin the fall colors.

Looks like LI might have some fun times.  What's keeping those 70 bangers so far of shore?

Again, I’m not convinced this is some prolonged widespread event.

this could easily be breezy days with periodic downpours. Which is why im not sold on big rain totals. Isolated areas, maybe 

This is very good practice for the winter season. I commend you.

[Damage In Tolland]

Getting some nice gusts moving thru now 35-40

Just drove back from Springfield ma today.  Saw multiple line trucks coming down this way. They definitely are preparing for this.

Nice partial sunset here in far E CT, some sprinkles and breezy. Dry air holding strong so far. Precip shield SE of New London looks kind of ragged, se of LI looks much better

I'm glad we are wasting this storm in late September to be honest. Would be an easy changeover here in Winter, and a congrats interior
