An inch by midnight on the PA Turnpike is something you drive through all the time. The morons at the National Weather Service are so busy wetting themselves over a 0.3 C° temperature increase by 2040 that they can't even accurately predict weather over an enormous, population dense part of the United States of America 6 hours in advance.

No pissing contest. I just got done shoveling several tons of snow that was supposed to be "nothing to worry about." You can have it if you want it.

What I've learned over the last four years is that the snowfall predictions for winter storms tend to be very accurate overall. The inaccuracy comes in predicting the track of a storm.

As late as Friday morning they were predicting 6-12 inches in my neck of the NYC metro area. The storm track was expected to run east of the city, dumping the heaviest snow along the Jersey shore and Long Island. It ended up coming through further north and west than expected -- which put my town right in the middle of the "24-30 inches" purple blob on the weather map on the evening news today.

This was the exact opposite of the first major storm last January/February -- the day after the Super Bowl, if I remember correctly. We ended up closing the office early on Monday due to the forecasts, and it wasn't all that bad at all. But Long Island and the Boston area got hammered with 2-3 feet of snow, and it was the start of the worst winter in Boston's history.

No thank you, we get our own snow in Michigan......
