That's true. However apps tend to just point you to the closest offical reporting station, so they actually help deemphasize Central Park. If you in Manhattan and small portion of BK you'll see the Park, but more NYC residents will be directed to LGA and JFK. Some close in suburbs will get LGA/JFK as well. SI will get Newark numbers. If i'm at home, apps show me LGA statistics/records and current conditions. Or some AI generated estimate based on LGA + attempts to show neighborhood microclimates. I only see Central Park on TV.

It would take a microburst over Central Park taking out a bunch of trees.

Quite the light show and about 0.8" rain in 15 mins

I did it last year, the forecast was pretty bleak, but it didn't turn out so bad for people in the earlier waves. They finished basically rain free. Just cloudy and cool. Maybe some brief drizzle. When the rain did come it poured though. Still got soaked on the way home. For those who started later it must of sucked toward the end.

Working at the 5 boro bike tour I hope that's true for Sunday. Or at least limited to an occasional light shower.

Being outside at the time it felt like most of that drop was in 60 secs

Most sudden and dramatic temp drop I may have ever experienced. On my bike felt like 80 to 50 in an instant. A warm wind became a strong cold one and it was a wrap. I could see the shock on people's faces.

Yeah I agree they all have their place. For me, in the Bx I find I tend to match up with LGA better, espically when E to NE winds are a big factor. It better captures any Sound influence which will effect some eastern areas of the boro as well. It's also significantly closer to me than CPK (as the crow flies), it's easier to get in the same snow bands etc. LGA obs on avg are actually more similar year round, especially in Spring with back door cold fronts.

Been snow and sleet the whole time, looks around 3". Now changing to more of a freezing rain/sleet mix atm. 30F

If there is data of interest to you, better download it while you can, especially anything climate change related. NOAA pages are dissappeaing right now.

Yeah feels like forever since I had to use a shovel. Snow actually stuck on pavement too which makes it feel like a real snowfall. A lot of the paltry snow totals of the last 2 years were grassy surfaces acclumation only. It matter for statistics but in urban areas, outside of a walk in a park, it's effectively 0"
