Boy THAT never happened. Ya just never know. They were forecasting rain, wind, even some wet snow in areas
but nothing (at least in Manhattan). Lots of wind and dropping temps late.

On a side note, we were encountered today at Firestone by NCPD who told me someone called my tag in to them for suspicious activity. The officer was cool and respectful and in the end, let us continue to spot. The moral of the story is, now that it's Christmas shopping season, more people will be in that lot who really aren't used to us being there. So please be extra cautious, courteous, and aware, and like I stated before, understand not everyone knows us or understands our hobby. Keep things cool out there.
