Here are our picks for the top stories that affected NYC and our state this year. It's been a eventful year.

In our year in review we forgot to mention that, in addition to being the sixth warmest year on record, last year was also the sixth wettest.

By comparison, "rainy" Seattle only averages around 36 inches of precipitation a year.
