64 Things Restaurant Patrons Must NEVER Do
Well, the wake of the Nor'easter, Weather Underground says that we're likely to have "light rain showers" tonight through tomorrow day, but the winds won't be as high as yesterday (north wind between 7 and 13 MPH, with gusts as high as 26 MPH). So this means: Make sure your umbrella is in good working order.
Broken umbrella connoisseur Hamish Robertson wonders, What is the perfect umbrella? We venture to say that one can be somewhat contorted back into working order after being whipped around would be nice. We're not expected eternal life from them - we just wish they would break at the end of the day, versus the beginning.
And we just loved these photographs of the Nor'easter fallout.

It's rain. Calm down.
Will we need umbrellas tomorow day?
Where's Joe Schumacher? I thought he was weather guru for gothamist.
Eddie Bauer used to make a great wind-proof umbrella. Not sure if they still do since they went bankrupt, but its worth looking in to.
I am enjoying himself in sunny, dry and warm San Francisco. I'll be back next week, when it will be sunny, dry and warm in New York. Until then I'm leaving the weather in Jen and Dave's capable hands.
Hey Rico; the "just rain" is ruining people's homes and cars and causing accidents. It's a big deal. Be thankful if you are not in a flooded house or street.
