Doesn’t seem we will be getting the above normal hot summer everyone was calling for. Now if they called for above normal humidity they would have been correct. .
Drove up from Manhattan to Dutchess, deluge the entire ride. Taconic flooded in many areas but passable. It was like driving in a snow storm, 35 to 40 MPH the entire way up. Took me an hour and a 40 min, normally an hour and 10 min. .

Easily the worst commute of the winter for me. Cars off the road. The roads were not plowed at all. It was snowing HARD and the DOT was caught off guard. 2 hour delay for the kids. .
I’m tired of these record rains we have been having. I just replaced my sump pump and installed a silent check valve in my basement, so I guess this will be the chance to test it. Hopefully it works out. Unfortunately I have to work Friday night into Saturday at the wastewater treatment plant and rain especially the amount being forecast means a rough night for all of us, hopefully the heavy stuff comes after 7 am. .
I never watched him before this year but I thought he was level headed and explained things rather well. After hearing everyone always criticizing him I paid close attention to his comments and never found him making bold or outlandish predictions. He had high hopes after the first week of January for the pattern change like most of us but he never pulled a JB promising cold and snow when there was no evidence for it.
Why would you put more stock in weather reporting stations in a sea of asphalt and concrete like an airport than the idiots who run the Central Park station? .
Snowed pretty good for about 45 min here. Nice fresh coating of snow, haven’t experienced that in a few years. I remember as a child visiting my grandparents in Saugerties in 80s and they would always have a consistent snowpack and you can see the different layers from the different storms. Miss that. .
I watched several videos yesterday by the METS voicing there frustration on how they had no idea what to forecast regarding snowfall totals and how the models were all over the place.
