Gov. Cuomo expressed criticism for the National Weather Service and its forecast of the storm that ravaged the region in a news conference late Saturday.
Cuomo said the NWS didn't indicate that the heavy snow bands would remain stationary and blast South Buffalo and the Southtowns with unprecedented snowfall.
Cuomo indicated that's a big reason why New York is building its own weather forecasting system, that he states will be superior to any other state system in the country.
"No one had an idea that it was gonna be that much snow that fast. Snow coming down at the rate of about five inches an hour, Cuomo said.
Though Cuomo is critical of the NWS coverage of this particular storm, New York's weather forecasting system had been planned since at least last year.
IBM's in New York. Maybe he can order IBM to make a bigger and better supercomputer for the NYWS.
SEND OUT THE PLOWS

Ain’t it a b!tch? Does anyone care?
Five feet of snow on the ground
more in the air.
Where are the plows?
We’re getting blitzed... tons to remove
Car wheels spinning around nothing can move
Where are the plows? There ought to be plows.
Just when I could open the doors
Finally thinking the plow I expected was yours
Clearing the roads again with the usual flair
Sure as sh!t, though no one is there.
Don’t you love pols? Our fault, I fear
We thought that they want what we want
sorry, my dear
But where are the plows? Send out the plows!
Don’t bother {your contractor’s} here.
(EPILOGUE)
Sonuvabich... why’m I still here?
Losing my mind & my hair no more career.
But where are the plows? There ought to be plows!
Well, maybe .... next year.
So forcast the snow to the exact inch and hour; so what. What are your going to do about it? Snow falls like crazy in that area, always has and so long as lake Erie is there, it always will. It did this in same thing in winter of 1964-65. Passenger trains were stopped in their tracks.
“Maybe he has it on good authority that Bathhouse Barry is planning on writing an executive order.”
Given that the Emperor Jones acts as if he has the divine rights of kings, as well as the temporal and divine power that goes with them, it should surprise no one when he issues an Imperial edict commanding the winds to cease blowing.
It's been snowing and blowing every Winter in W. NYS for quite a while.
There were also rotary blowers that could be deployed from the yards as needed. The NYS Thruway ran convoys behind plow teams to keep traffic moving.
TRUE! I'm a subscriber too...
Did you grow up there or were you just visiting?
IBM is not in New York anymore, they are in China and India. Besides they don’t make anything anymore, they sold almost all of their hardware business to Lenovo.
Now Prince Andrew of Albany can employ his own weathermen who will tell him anything he wants to hear: “Global warming causes 6 feet of snow?” Sure thing sire! “Guns cause snow storms but Democrats can outlaw guns so there is no problem!” anything else sire?
