    Didnt feel much of the winds but being in Manhattan and pretty much inside all day I guess you wouldnt
    Last night though the rain was pretty steady and at times quite heavy in eastern Nassau. I would say we got a good 6/7 hours of rain.
    Tonite though defintely feels and looks like Fall is here to stay.

    Winds aren't evil right now, but they're stiff (and cold). Pretty steady 20-25mph from the west with gusts 35-40mph at EWR and the 'burbs. Damp, but no real drizzle for now. Supposed to be warmer with more rain tomorrow.
    Cheers,

    We just got a bout of rain as some of the swirling storm drifted down from the North.

    Yeah, we didn't get the rain so bad down here around EWR. Was supposed to go to 63F today, but I think they were talking about midnight and inverted the 3 and 6. Brrr. The wind on the other hand sucked, and still does. Consistent 18-20mph with gusts to 38-42mph. And the windchill is only 54F, but feels sooooooo much worse. EWR is taking delays of about 20min avg...

    The Texas/Mexico border is going to get screwed:

    Looks like Indian Summer is taking hold of the Metro NY area this week. Temps in the 70s maybe close to 80 one day.

    Wow this storm in the Upper Midwest is CRAZY!!! It is said to be equal to a Cat 3 Hurricane.

    We should be feeling effects of a cold front coming through, part of this system I believe, after Midnite and into tomorrow.

    I'm just hoping that the bay isnt going to be too bad... This will be an interesting storm.
