A couple pics from around our fair city after all that rain

Five and six inches of rain in some spots yesterday and overnight has left us and now we deal with the aftermath. Not quite as bad as the rainiest day ever in the NYC area, back in 1882, the NYT has the coverage from that day here.

Here comes the rain again

Some heavy rain is moving into our area today and should be in full-on downpour by this afternoon. If you're still traveling for the holidays or have to do some personal errands be careful, there will be flooded roads. DO be careful out there. Rain will be measured in inches today.

Just that kind of day

The rain's a comin'

Can Johnny get to Madison Square Park and eat at Shake Shack before it decides to wash out the day? Tune in later to find out.

Fine looking weekend on tap, if you're a duck

2-4 inches of rain are expected over the Jersey City Desk reading area, with some areas getting close to 5 inches of rain. But what's a deluge of rain without high winds? Yep, winds in the range of 25-30 mph with guts up to 45 mph are probable and there is a flood warning in effect until Sunday afternoon. As always if your streets are flooded and it's difficult to get around head to city hall where you can pick up free canoes under Mayor Healy's 'free canoes when it floods bad' program.

The Jersey City Desk Action Weather team has an announcement

The wet droplet thingies falling from the sky is called "rain". This "rain" will continue throughout the day. Check back later for the definition of the word "flood".
