Forecasters such as Joe Bastardi have noted for some time an eastward bias to the GFS. This time the GFS had it right. Folks are pretending that nothing major happened with this storm. Tell that to my friends southwest of Boston who have 30 inches of snow to shovel.
That’s worth remember too. Just because NYC didn’t get crushed doesn’t mean it wasn’t a bad storm and other places aren’t under the snow. We had that here last year, weather service was predicting a massive rain storm coming up from Baja and flooding Tucson and Phoenix. Turns out the storm “leaned” East, everybody in Tucson and Phoenix were all “where’s our end of the world flood” meanwhile Sierra Vista and other small towns in that area took some serious damage. Both turned out to be pretty much the storm predicted, just not centered in the “right” spots.
Just NW of Boston here. Twenty eight inches and still snowing.
