the fact of the matter is that there was a not-unlikely chance (according to the models) that NYC, Boston, and other cities could have seen crippling snowfall. They were able to prepare for that eventuality. That it didn't come to pass is almost a non-issue.
The thing is, for the Boston area at least, the crippling snowfall totals came true. Areas west of Boston were reporting well over two feet of snow earlier in the day.
- emhart 12y agoYeah, southwest of Boston we are getting wrecked. Still coming down hard, hoping it finishes up soon. I'm glad we had the warnings, and I'll be particularly glad if we lose power, which seems pretty likely at this point, since the warning gave me the chance to stock up, charge battery backups, etc.
