NEW YORK CITY — After a warm and sunny weekend, New Yorkers woke up to a gloomy Monday and took it to social media to bemoan the heavy showers.
Yesterday I got sunburn, and today I'm wearing fuzzy socks... NY weather.

are you kidding me with this monsoon? Spring just booty-called us at 2am, coaxed us out of bed and fell asleep before answering the door.

Umbrellas quickly filled the streets as New Yorkers tried to avoid large puddles.

Rain in the city is the worst. I got to class looking like I just went for a swim and had to empty the puddles out of my shoes.

On a postive note, today's rain showers were also the occasion for some to express their artistic skills.
