Steady light snow here in Hamilton Heights. Has given the car tops a fresh coating. 

A few snowflakes mixing in with the rain and sleet in Jersey City.

Looks like we missed the record low by a degree.

Sorry. It's just a little pet peeve of mine when people call it heavy rain in these types of storms. I've had the heaviest radar echoes going over me in the last half hour, and it's not even coming down half as heavily as it did during our heavy downpours in t-storms this summer. These noreaster type of storms really just have mostly moderate rain, but of course rainfall totals will be very impressive because it lasts several hours. It just doesn't excite me like the blinding downpours in summer t-storms do. The winds tomorrow will be much more exciting.

Unfortunately heavy rain isn't defined by whether it excites you or not.

Getting into the peak of the rain event with the yellows and oranges on radar going over us. Coming down good but I wouldn't go as far as calling it heavy rain. It's nothing compared to the very heavy rain you get in summer t-storms, where you can get an inch of rain in 20 minutes. This is more like a high end moderate rain, but of course we will end up with very heavy rainfall totals because it lasts much longer than a summer t-storm. But this definitely isn't HEAVY rain. It seems heavy for this time of year, but again nothing like the true heavy rain in summer downpours.

You could have used heavy rain in this paragraph a few more times to make sure we'd definitely get your point. 

And yes, there is a burst of heavy rain right now here in Hamilton Heights. 

No shortage of rain here in Europe. Left NYC on 9/26 and had at least some rain every single day since.

In Iceland now, finally got a mostly dry day today, but it featured sustained winds of 30-50mph with gusts to 80mph. Exciting!
