SI Mailman

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

Steady light rain all day here

Currently at .13, will probably nickel and dime our way to a quarter

Finally got the car wash today and then a half inch of rain 6 hours later. Oh well

running out to put soap on now.  

I won’t get a chance to wash my car today, so expect the storms to miss Staten Island

I can guarantee rain here on Wednesday night.  I plan on taking my car to the car wash on Wednesday morning to wash off all the dead bugs from my road trip to Niagara and the Finger Lakes this past weekend.  Weather was mid to upper 80's and beautiful up there.  

Boats are only worth it if you love fishing. Fishing season starts in April and runs through early December. 
Peole with boats, who don’t fish, barely use them and just waste money.

Getting rocked here in Staten Island. Heavy rain and constant ctg lightning

101/75 here.

96/78/114

Glad the mail is light today, cause I don’t want to be out in this any longer than I have to be

Finally got into the good stuff

Been non stop thunder in the distance for the last hour, but not a drop of rain. Had a brief 5 minute shower a few hours ago

Was in North Edison earlier this evening, downed trees and power lines everywhere from the storm
