Anyone have the rainfall totals for the area?  I can never get the links when searching

Two day event totals.

Here is link:

Two day total here was .60".  Not great but better than nothing.  Windy again with gusts into the mid 30's.

Only .12 here so far, and radar doesn't look promising. Slight chance we get hit by a downpour this afternoon. If not we're going to end up with less than a quarter inch, which would be pretty disappointing. 

Little better here with .39" as of 7:30 this morning.  Doesn't look like much additional unless like you said a heavier downpour delivers.

Disappointing and not going to help the dryness to any degree. 

Temperatures look to be on the the cooler or at least seasonable side as we open May.

Hoping for a 1" soaking.  Will take .5" but will be disappointed with anything less.  Soil is dry.

Thank you, good to see some maturity for once. We have a climate change thread. I, and others are happy to debate you over there. 

Sorry no.  I tend to not spend much time on things I have no control over.

As it is I do my part by living in NJ.  I am forced to carry bags into a grocery store and drink from paper straws.  That should help things a bit.

I wonder how many people know that the planet was completely uninhabitable throughout most of its history.

Yeah.  Then cow farts and industry came along and changed everything.  This area was once covered in a glacier and it melted and receded. No humans or industry then.  To each his own I guess.

No denying planet has warmed over the past 20-30 years but not human induced.  Time will tell but most of us here today could welll be on the other side of the grass by then.

Vibes over facts until the bitter end!!!

Sorry.  You are delusional if you think for one second humans are going to stop the climate from changing no matter what we do.  Trying to block out the sun, really?

I can't hate this idea enough

100% agree.  The planet is what about 4.5 billion years old, give or take a half billion.  Just when exactly was the climate not changing?

To think we're going to change anything by driving around in plug in cars and silencing cow farts is absurd.  Experiments to dim sunlight?

Yeah, that will end well.

Just finished the final seasonal snowfall map for the 24-25 season. I added stats to the side for the climo sites as well as a progression throughout the season which you can see on our site. Everything is updated in the 24-25 snowfall maps page. 

 

Had 30.9" at my location.  Except for 3 events of between 5 and 6" I could have done without the remaining nuisance 1-2" events. 

Nevertheless a total is a total and compared so some totals on this map even into the Catskills, mid Hudson Valley and NW CT I did well.

Cold west.  Warm east.

I'll take it !   Pattern looks dry for a while though.

Euro is basically dry the next 8 days or so

Yeah, most guidance is rather dry for the next week to 10 days.  Latest Drought Monitor shows improvement but still not ideal.  We could go backwards with a renewed dry spell.  Especially if weather turns unseasonably warm.  Dryness mostly would affect ag interests initially as we head into the growing season.  For now through all is ok.  Just have to watch for any long stretches of dryness.

Today might be the coldest day for awhile

Likely yes.  Thankfully.

This weather is beautiful

Have to disagree.  It sucks.  It was mostly cloudy, windy and temperatures in my part of NJ only got into the m/u 40's. 

This weather blows chunks for mid April.  The constant wind is beyond tiresome.

lol I see you've joined the wanting dry/warm weather train.

I boarded that train a month ago! 

At least the warm part of it.  I'm not rooting for endless dryness.

Temperature 38 with a gusty wind at times.  Lots of clouds associated with cyclonic rot.

Stinks!

Another windy day.  What else is new.  Really gusty here today. 

Last vestiges of ice still hanging on over the far east end of Lake Erie.

Nice out today.  Especially in the sun.  Bit of a gusty breeze at times but nice day.

Rain totals from Fri/Sat

LGA: 0.97
EWR: 1.02
JFK: 1.02
NYC: 1.05
TTN: 1.38

 

Event total here was 1.55" with 1.5" snow.  We've made good drought progress over the last several weeks.  Most of the area should be in the abnormally dry or D0 classification on the Drought Monitor that comes out this coming Thursday. 

Stuck in the low 30's all day here with mist, drizzle and some sleet mixed in at times.  Everything pretty much melted on paved surfaces. Still some depth 1/2" - 3/4" on the colder surfaces.  Was just outside and things a bit slick under foot with temperatures hanging around 33 degrees currently.  Might be some black ice issues overnight if temperature drops to or just below freezing.

Finished with 1.5" here.  Pavement and concrete surfaces accumulated as well but with just under an inch of accumulations on those surfaces.  Roads did get snow covered.

Temperature dropped to 31 under a heavier band.

No plows and no SALT so far thank goodness.

32.5 with accumulating snow.  Mainly colder surfaces.  Pavement and concrete sparse coating.

Yes it’s higher. 1550’ for the Nordstrom tower vs 1396’ for 432 Park Ave. Both fully residential and have higher roof heights then 1 World Trade Center. While NYC no longer has the tallest buildings in the world it still has the highest residential buildings.

I think part of the reason they are having trouble selling that pent house is, it’s so high it’s often in the clouds. 

and from what I've read in high winds you can feel the sway.....no thanks.

Currently 36.4 degrees with light rain and drizzle.

Just nasty.  Sucks.

I'm ok with the rain but the chilly temperatures need to go
