I detest meteorologist sensationalism. A world of untruths.

That’s hardly a case of sensationalism. The area of greatest impact simply moved a bit, away from the poster, with an increase in the snowfall forecast to their north, and a decrease for them.

Ditto in a sense for us, but in the other direction. The original forecast was for a once-in-5 years event. Make it 10 years now. The forecast could still be a bust, but the models are all very close, now. History is very clear on that.

I wouldn’t call myself even an amateur forecaster, but, the basics here pretty clearly indicate an unusually heavy snowfall for this region, somewhere in this region. All the basic ingredients look strong: Moisture, cold, winds, and lift. Almost certainly there will be a few un-necessary deaths of people unprepared, etc. :-(
