Overall a nice event to start weakening the drought with 1-2 west of NYC and 2-4 east.

Following up:  I know the 4-5" amounts occurred RI per the attached CoCoRaHs reports (east of CT-LI) and the wind was about 10 knot less than generally modeled for our area with the conservative HRRR and SPEC HREF MIN gust best found in the fire weather section.  EC far too far west on big gusts.  

 

If interested,here are  the CoCoRaHs rainfall reports (click for clarity).  Poconos also topped off with about 1/2" snow as far as the 3 CoCoRaHs reports indicate at 8A today.
