15-and-a-half inches of rain in New York City so far this month, more than five times above average, and it just keeps falling.
And if this weren't bad enough, Robbie tells me some people are finding eerie echoes in the current Northeast weather to 1991's "perfect storm."
UPDATE: I knew we had been getting close, but Saturday pushed Central Park over the top as the wettest October in history, and we're now only about an inch behind the wettest month on record in New York City: September 1882.
This has past beyond ridiculous at this point. I'm almost wishing the temperature would drop below freezing and deal with snow, rather than rain. At least there's a better chance of me not having to come to work with 30 inches of white stuff on the ground.

I think we're the wettest month ever now!
