Agree, there's no need for the sun to be up at 4am in the summer and twilight would begin around 3am. That gets lost a lot in these conversations about permanent standard time. Personally, I'd much rather have that light in the evening when the vast majority of people are awake. I don't mind an 8am sunrise in the winter, we're already waking up and going to work in the dark. I'd much rather have the daylight when I get home. It would help if you're doing anything outside. Everyone has their preferences, there's nothing wrong with what anyone prefers. This debate will resurface again come November lol I digress, it's 45 and partly cloudy, another windy day on tap

Heavy snow Just dumping

Moderate snow and getting heavier

2" here roughly Light snow still falling

Snow/graupel mix, starting to get a coating finally

Latest HRRR is still 2-3" NYC and east. Barely any accumulating snow before 6pm, most falls after 6pm. This is inline with what most models had (timing wise)

Most models didn't have any steady precip until about 5/6pm out here on Long Island so it's going as planned. 2-4" out this way

Steady graupel here with some flakes, no rain so far!

I remember Stony Brook's MM5! Though it's more for storm surge forecasting Expecting 2-4" here on the south shore

Best thunderstorm in years and it's basically January. Tons of ctg strikes

Seems like we get better thunderstorms in the winter than in the summer, at least here!

Couple fires in NJ sending a smoke plume over Manhattan

Unfortunately the dry streak in NYC is over picking up 0.01", but if no more rain falls through Thursday it should still be the driest month all-time behind June 1949 where 0.02" fell

If the rain chances this upcoming week don't pan out, there's a chance for many spots to have their driest September on record. This could also end up being one of the driest months ever. ISP currently only has 0.06" of precip for September, record for the driest month is 0.18" set in October 2000 and August 1964. NYC is currently tied for 5th driest month ever NYC: Click column heading to sort ascending, click again to sort descending.
