Why do we have 90s in September ? It's Ruschell ! She LOVED hot weather and this is her smiling down on us. I'm so sad today but grateful to have known and worked with her. World is poorer today without her. The smile and spirit will live forever.

Say it ain't snow ! NYC could see 1-3" of snow on Monday. It will be a close call. Weather models show NYC on the northern edge of the storm. This is the "screw zone". Northern edge sometimes means no snow Sometimes it brings more. Reasonable worst case: 4-5".
