I've been smelling it for over an hour here.

Heavy rain and lightning in Manhattan.

The region was in the midst of a drought when Connie and Diane hit; if it happened again today it's unlikely we would have such luck.

If anything things are getting started faster than expected compared to the HRRR. -
I assume that these departures are specific to the summer given how the sun roasts everything? It would be interesting to see the winter version.
-
Sun has come out ahead of the storms in Manhattan.

If it's going to be hot then let it be dry as well. I'm not trying to spend $350 cooling my apartment this month.

Feels like people have been honking about the threat for a significant east coast (north of FL) hurricane strike for several years now but it hasn't happened, and I don't think the issue has been the failure of the expected Atlantic patterns to materialize. Have we just been lucky?
-
It's funny to see people complain about a lack of heat in May when we're basically guaranteed 10 weeks of disgusting tropical weather every summer. Meanwhile those of us who enjoy the cold have to pray for a 3-day arctic blast or two to break up the 4 months of eternal November every winter.

Wasn't here for that storm but I've heard a lot of people who were saying that they couldn't believe that CPK amount because they got so much less. I don't actually have any memory of it despite Allentown apparently getting 10-12", but I agree it's nowhere near the level of the all-timers despite its gaudy position on the snowfall list.
-
Lack of consistent heavy rates plus the bad boundary layer (and warm pre-storm conditions) killed the storm in Manhattan. Very reminiscent of 3/7/18 where it snowed all day but the deform band ended up over NNJ instead of the City where it was modeled to be and the torched boundary layer never never got the full dynamic cooling effect so we had 33-34 degree white rain. Wound up with a coating of slush in Midtown and little more in Chelsea.
-
Coating on cold surfaces here, starting to stick to the Avenues.

Two Mdt to high impact events NYC subforum; wknd Jan 6-7 Incl OBS, and mid week Jan 9-10 (incl OBS). Total water equiv by 00z/11 general 2", possibly 6" includes snow-ice mainly interior. RVR flood potential increases Jan 10 and beyond. Damaging wind.

That embedded squall line feature looks nasty.

We've pretty much been in a down period since March 2018, with the exception of February 2021 (and maybe January 2022 for eastern areas).

Growing up in Allentown the neighbors who had been around for a while would talk about February 1983 before 1996 even though the latter ended up as a slightly bigger storm in terms of accumulations (30" vs 25"). I think it was the intensity that made such an impression, 1996 was 36 hours of steady snow while 83 came in like a wall and dropped 5" in an hour at one point.
