SI Mailman

Already have a dusting as I am about to drive home from work

Mostly snow here by the outerbridge now

Getting a sleet mix now at the Staten Island side of the Outerbridge Crossing

First flakes southern part of Staten Island

What’s the opposite of getting NAM’d?

I feel as if NYE is always 20 or 55, no in between, at least since my memory goes back

New Year's Day 2018 was cold as hell.  Froze my ass off at CitiField for the Rangers-Sabres Winter classic.  Ball drop had to have been in the single digits.  We got a nice blizzard 3 days later.  

NYC needs 0.2 to go above 3 inches, Kalshi odds only 45 percent for December.  Seems low to me

We all know there could be 3 inches on the ground and they’d measure it as a trace

12Z Canadian now shows snowstorm 12/26 - seems like when one model drops the storm another picks it up

Lets go nuts and have Boxing Day II

Sun trying to peak out here

Out here in the mail truck delivering everyone’s online orders, if you see a mailman doing donuts outside your window on Staten Island, it’s me.

Historic torch is gearing up for second half of December, rubber band going to snap back hard

Unless it's in the 70's on Christmas Eve like 2015, it's not historic.  

Yep-12/26/2010 is one of my favorites living there for sure. Too bad we couldn’t get that death band over NJ a little further east. 

Got caught underneath it and jackpotted on Staten Island. It’s still my number 1 storm of all time. 30 inches here.

They dont get coastal lows. Now we dont either.

 

Chicago wins

Speaking of Illinois weather, the Northwestern-Illinois game is currently being played in the snow and airing on Fox.  

A foot and a half of snow the week after Thanksgiving?  Lock it in.  

Did it get down to 32 at any of the New York City reporting stations?
34 right now with light snow here. 

My personal weather station on Staten Island got down to 32 degrees. Currently in Ocho Rios Jamaica where it’s 81 and humid. We had a thunderstorm here a few hours ago. You can see some signs of damage from Melissa, but otherwise business as usual

1.6 inches over here

49 mph gust at Great Kills Harbor

Not having fun delivering the mail today. Wind is insane. Over .8 inches in the rain gauge so far with a lot more to come

if you had kids, you would understand. 

 

what you’re really mad at is shorter days… it’s like yelling at a cloud. Move south

 

People don't realize there's really only 9 hours of daylight in December, and they don't know how to allocate it.  

I was beginning to wonder what would happen first - Melissa makes landfall or World Series game 3 ended.

If the Euro is right... Jamaica would be no more.

I'm supposed to be in Jamaica 3 weeks from today as a stop on my cruise, so I'm monitoring this storm closely.  Figures this one is named after my crazy ex.  

Ragasa's massive eye takes up almost an entire degree of latitude and longitude

It's a naked swirl

Heavy rain now where I’m at on Staten Island 

Yep, up to .89 for the day with over a half inch in that hour
