The Great New York Drizzle: Did it Rain or Did Someone Spill a Cloud?

It Wasn't a Monsoon, But It Wasn't a Tea Party Either
Let's get this out of the way first: New York didn't exactly morph into Venice. According to the weather reports, we're looking at a measly 0.28 inches of rain. That's about as exciting as watching paint dry, unless of course, that paint is a vibrant shade of "avoiding-hairstyle-disasters-on-the-way-to-work" purple.
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
So, Did You Need Your Galoshes?
Probably not. 0.28 inches is more like a light drizzle than a reason to break out the inflatable raft. You might have needed an umbrella for a brief moment, but other than that, it was more of a "meh" kind of rain event.

QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.

- You're a tiny ant and 0.28 inches is basically a swimming pool.
- You accidentally left your sunroof open and now your car's interior looks like a fish tank.
- You're a fictional character in a noir detective film, and rain is practically a character itself.
In those cases, well, then maybe it was a monsoon after all.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.
Frequently Asked Drizzle Dilemmas:
How to:
- Avoid getting caught in a surprise shower? There's an app for that (or, you know, just look outside).
- Measure rainfall at home? Grab a ruler and an empty can (science project, anyone?).
- Look stylish with an umbrella? Channel your inner Mary Poppins and own it.
How not to:
- Use a banana peel as an umbrella. It might be funny, but it'll also be potassium-y disappointing.
