Just shows how good weather forecasting is these days:

I should have added: if it comes off. *))

It did come off, the actual forecasts yesterday (not the media
misinterpretaions) was for up to a foot of snow in parts of NYC (they
definitely had that at Queens, there was a live HD webcam - even more
on Long Island) and 2 feet further NE, peaking at 3 feet in a few
places. We can't judge NYC from the Times Square webcam, they were
snow clearing all night there.

They are already up to 2 feet in Boston and 30 inches in several other
cities in the vicinity. Great forecast... though the southern edge of
the heaviest snow was *very slightly* further NE than forecast. Boston
is currently -9 deg C and feels like a bone-chilling -18C in the wind.
We've *never* seen the like of that combination in a major UK city,
IIRC.

Thanks Dave. I was really criticising myself for saying a forecast was good, before outcome - which was rather silly!

That's because there was a fevered push by AGW nutters to use the storm and the depth of snow to illustrate just how bad global warming had become and you didn't disappoint.
