That would be great, let’s keep the wet times rolling. If we can translate this into next winter things will really get interesting.
Marine life is on an incredible upswing. Daily dolphins, tuna, rays and the occasional whales at Jones Beach this summer. It’s incredible  to see. I saw tuna flying through the air chasing bait fish only a few feet from shore yesterday!

driving down the west shore expressway to the Outerbridge and it looked more like 10:30 rather than 6:30. Torrential rains now.

Nice lightning show looking out to my west and some wind gusts. Still reading 86 on the weather station, but I expect that to drop in the next 20 minutes

Managed to hit a 100 here. Back down to a brisk 99.

99/79/120 here

Intense thunder and lightning and heavy rainfall rates here on Staten Island now.  

Severe thunderstorm watch for the area later on
Stay hydrated and cool this weekend.
I hate the summer. I wish I was able to take my vacation this week.

Absolute deluge on my route right now. I'm just sitting in the mail truck waiting for it to let up

pop up shower by me. Nice little downpour in the Arden Heights section of Staten Island.

Nonstop cloud to cloud lightning with that last line of storms, some wind but not much else.

I'm down by the Atrium and saw some hail as well.

Small little popup shower by the Outerbridge.

about 1.75 inches here on Staten Island on the colder surfaces. Sidewalks barely covered.

NYC Schools closed tomorrow

looks like white rain here on Staten Island.

Wow, it can snow for allot longer then 30 hours and has many many times. PD2 is a great example. Previous to that there was the 70 hour storm in the 60s. And most notoriously the blizzard of 88.

I’m not saying this particular event will, but making blanket statements like that doesn’t help this forum. 

This event is gaining traction, and may finally be the snow event we have been waiting for.

Didn't we get over 30 hours of snow in '96?

As someone who works outside, I'm fine with backloaded winters. If it has to snow, let it be February or March when I have longer daylight hours to work in. An 8 inch December Pre-Christmas event would be a disaster for us delivery people in the online shopping era.

Wind picked up a little before the line came through

Keeping an eye on that line. Don't want to be in the middle of a block when it hits

Just had a loud rumble of thunder here.

Boxing Day is going to be my number 1 for a long time.  The jackpot for that one went right over Staten Island.  Ended up with 30 inches.  

Dec 2015 was ridiculous  

starting to mix a little here on the south shore of Staten Island.
