"Red skies in the morning, sailors take warning. Red skies at night, sailors delight."

We had a similar thread a couple of years ago when a major snowstorm that was predicted to hit NYC turned into a minor snowfall.

Everyone was complaining that "the National Weather Service got it wrong," but I had a sense that it wasn't as wrong as we thought. I was up early that morning and saw the most brilliant red sunrise I've ever seen on the East Coast, so I figured there was a whopper of a storm out there east of New York City.

Sure enough, eastern Long Island and the Providence and Boston areas got 24+ inches of snow.

Since radar and instant communication - we have begun to complain if the weather prediction is a few miles off. IMHO, the meteorologists do a great job. I have not seen any reports of death or injury on the roads - so it is commendable that people are taking precautions and staying home where possible. God bless
