So she said yes?! Congrats. 

Yep, proposed at the Conference House Park on Staten Island while the thermometer still read 100.  Was driving to a celebratory dinner as the storms were moving in.  

Just got a rumble of thunder out of nowhere

Oh fun. 1 year ago tonight we had 80 mph winds and lost power for 4 days

Up to 99

Very comfortable on Raritan bay right now. Water temp is 73 and fireworks will be going off by Perth Amboy in 90 minutes

Up to 101

98/74.  It's not even noon.  

My first date with my girlfriend was 2/3/23.  It was in the single digits when we met.  I plan on proposing to her on Friday when it's triple digits.  I think that's good symmetry.  

Pouring here right now.

.82 and counting here, just had a nice rumble of thunder from the back end.

This is why we change the clocks.

Like the masses are morons that cant understand this

They are mad are DST and ST…no what they are mad at is shorter days. They are yelling at the freaking tilt of the earth to the sun.

Dumbest thing I have ever heard of

They'll learn real fast once they get their way.  Personally I wouldn't mind permanent DST with my job.  I'll get rid of all the packages before sunrise in December and then have plenty of time to deliver the mail before it gets dark.  

97 down here in DC as I’m about to go roast at Nationals Park

Sleeting here as well

Sleet mixing in here

82!!

This is right up there with Boxing Day for me.  Eyeballing pictures from my parents house and they look very similar, probably approaching 30 inches.  

8 inches measured at 10:30.  Halfway to my 16-24 inch call for my backyard.  

Almost 6.5 inches here  keeping up the inch and a half rates for the last 3 hours.

No puking snow 

He will be puking something else at that rate.  

5 inches here on Staten Island.  3 inches in the last 2 hours, so still at a 1.5 inch/hr rate.

eyeballing around 3 here; snowing good but not horrendous. i could see us getting 10-12. about what i could handle anyway. 

3.5 inches officially 5 miles to your east, 1.5 inches fell in the last hour.  

Just went out and measured 2 inches.  

sticking to all surfaces here

This storm will put everyone who wasn't already above average there for the season, including Central Park, provided they don't wait til next Friday to measure.  

In 24 hours, we’re going to have a KU storm heading towards the benchmark
