If you don't like crowds then you can come visit in the first two weeks of January. The tree and a lot of the Christmas stuff is still up and there are far fewer people. Plus the weather is usually more wintry.

One of the all-time commuting nightmares given that the City was expected to quickly change to rain and almost no one stayed home. Sadly turned out to be the peak of that winter...
-
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.
