Anybody know what the weather conditions were around HPN on Saturday?

Wondering about the C172 crash? What time of day did it occur? White
Plains had some pretty low visibility that day from a persistent low
pressure that is still entrenched in the region.



Yes I was talking to a friend Saturday afternoon who lives 60 or so
miles from there, and he said it was raining heavily where he was.

I don't know when the crash occurred, but they found the wreckage
around 4pm I am told. It's a pretty heavily populated area, so I
assume it didn't take them long to find it.

I don't know anything about the crash you're referring to (or even that
there had been a crash), but I drove down to Westchester from Boston on
Saturday afternoon -- a trip I have flown fairly often. My wife asked at
some point if I would rather be flying, and I told her I was happy to be
on the ground. The ceilings looked to be well below minimums for most of
the trip(maybe 50 foot ceilings) and there was pouring rain with limited
forward visibility on the ground. Then the lightning started....
