Recently two cities near me received 8 to 10 inches of rain on thursday (11th). Using the 1 inch of rain equal one foot of snow if this rainstorm had happened in December would these cities been buried in 8 to 10 feet of snow?
My low this morning was 80F, first occurrence for me since I left NYC 2.5 years ago. NWS forecasting 100F in NYC today, should see some insane heat index values. Also forecasting a 79F low for Islip, which is probably more impressive than 100F in NYC.
