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.

I did it every year for a 6 year stretch from '07 to '12.  '09 was the worst, I believe we actually had a coastal storm the day of the tour.  I vowed to never ride it again if the forecast called for rain.  

Made the right call to work in shorts today

Feels like the temperature just dropped 15 degrees

I’ve been carrying mail since before the 2013-14 winter. I break out different layers depending on how cold it is. I’ve only had to break out my extreme cold sub 20 degrees outfit once this winter, but I feel like I’ve worn my 20s and 30s gear every single day these last 2 months with little to no break

Moderate snow here on Staten Island

First flakes Staten Island by the outerbridge crossing

southern part of Staten Island and I'm getting sleet.

One last weenie band

About 3 inches here on Staten Island

2 inches measured here by me on Staten Island

ripping here on Staten Island as well.  

It’s also different since we were tracking a HECS 9 years ago this week. Haven’t had any monsters worth tracking in these parts for quite some time now

yeah, not a flake on the NAM, but it's also in the long range.  

I'm betting we nickle and dime our way to a 15 inch snowfall total at the end of the season in Central Park when all is said and done.  

Icon bombs it out and exits stage right at Virginia.  

Euro is a miss

Side note - Winds would be pretty significant here, but with no HP to the NW, the wind threat is not quite as high as it could/would be. Still something to watch nonetheless. 

I mentioned it in the January thread, but the full moon will be on Sunday, so extra high tides would lead to lots of coastal flooding.  

Delmarva peninsula the place to be on this run.  

0z Icon is OTS

Full moon next weekend too, so coastal flooding impacts as well

18z with a monster coming up from the gulf

Just had some scattered flurries by the outer bridge crossing

0z NAM a tick south of its 18z run.
