April Observations & Discussions

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

1.7" already, flash flood warnings til 11:15

I’ll tell you what. Intense rain coming down

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...

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

Basically is a tropical storm out here.
Havent seen rain this heavy and this persistent in a while. I knew itd be windy but not like this.

very heavy rain this morning. Still heavy but not biblical at this point. 43°

the rain has stopped for now..currently we have 3.20 inches of rain!!

Up to major flooding. not just Bx river pkwy but Saw Mill and Hutch closes as well.

.25" for last night 4/15/18, 4.23" today so far for a total of 4.48"

2.41" in the bucket for today, currently 54.9°

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.

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
