Watch out for winds and rains! The city is in "Flash Flood Warning" mode until 7:45 a.m. according to NY1, which says, "Flooding has or is occuring on streets and highways!" And don't forget the subways: NYC Transit Tweeted that there's flooding at the 72nd Street subway station, "3 service suspended,. 2 via 5 149th St - Nevins St, 1 suspended 137th St - Times Sq." Earlier, service had been suspended between 96th and Times Square for the 1, 2 and 3; also, a tree fell near 167th St in the Bronx, which meant delays on the downtown 4 (it's supposed to be cleared up by now, but it's always good to check mta.info).

We also hear there is flooding on the northbound FDR near 61st Street, which means it'll be closed. WCBS 880 reports, "Flooding and accidents caused highway delays in Westchester, especially along the Saw Mill River Parkway and the Taconic Parkway."

    Really wasn't that bad. As usual the mets overplayed the storm into something that it wasn't.

    I'm stupid with the weather. Every year, the temperature drops twenty degrees in a few hours to start the real Fall weather, and every year, I'm caught unprepared.

    Had a great bike commute this morning. This kind of weather is no big deal -- wet, but not cold.
