The models only shit the bed for 48 hours (I think). There was pretty good agreement on the night of December 20th that a big storm was coming. I think people gave up on the 22nd or 23rd.
1992 wins that but barely. The difference in regards to the wind when comparing 1992 and 2010 was the wind direction (SE in 2010 and NE in 1992) and much shorter duration of the strongest winds in 2010.
