I've been checking out some weather discussions and Joe Bastardi (AccuWeather Met) is crying in his beer because of the "dry tongue" that kept accumulations way down from Balt/Wash on up through central PA and busted his forecast.

Accuweather forecast this storm seven days ago, when other forecasters were saying it would stay south. Nine inches in Pottstown, PA is still a significant snow - it is fiendishly difficult to forecast the exact details with a storm like this - but Bastardi got the big picture correct.

Then why do they act like they just strolled down from Mount Sinai with some stone tablets?

I'd much rather have my weatherman unequivocally state that he doesn't have a clue how much snow I'm gonna get, just that I'm gonna get some!

Is this it?
I don't think 20 inches of snow can impact a freeper.
I mean I put up with eight years of Bill Clintoon, this will be a day at the park!
