38 here and slushy. No bird feeder is safe at night. Bears wiped mine out and bent the bars in a way I could not. Slush on the deck, we've been made by the bears. Precipitation is falling pretty good.

Looks like the rain will come to an end in the early afternoon, but that is not before widespread 3" amounts fall across the area. Crazy storm!

Came home from work to find some sluch on deck and car. Must have been a little snow.

I’ll tell you what. Intense rain coming down

by **weatherwatchermom** Mon Apr 16, 2018 8:10 am

now thundering!! wish is was thunder snow!!
almost 2.5 inches of rain

WOW AND SKY'S JUST OPENED UP HARDER THAN IT WAS BEFORE...

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** Mon Apr 16, 2018 8:17 am

35.4 and pouring.

With the proper path this could have been an historic Mid April snow storm for some of the area.

Tree down and accident made me late. Thunder lightning now soaking rain. It's crazy out. The bursts of heavy rain bring big down bursts of wind. Anyone in the main part of the front line what's it like?

Just drove through torrential rain into work. Some street flooding especially in the poor drainage areas. The creek that runs through the center of my town looks like a muddy raging river and is just starting to creep over it’s banks into the surrounding park. NWS just issued a statement that a heavier band of rain is coming in. Heavier? Can’t wait. Lol

Drove home along saw mill, was so close to being a major flood, literally 50 feet or less from being over the parkway. The Bronx river seems to get worse than saw mill dtone. I know the hutch did have flooding to close in some low lying places. How much rain did we have? At times it was literally whiteout rain.

and yes every time we get this crazy rain storm we should rent a float or a boat for the hutch or the saw mill

yeah it was pretty insane this morning. I saw the bx river really high, in addition to the regular urban flooding issues there. I saw 3.80" measurement at Lehman College earlier. Thats the NY Mesonet station for the Bx

Winter is not going out without a fight this year. Of course this is no surprise to anyone that read that banter page On February 2nd.
