Don't forget there was not nearly as much nowcasting available to most back then. Was the Internet even widely used back in 2001. Maybe barely, but don't think it was even close to being in every home, and certainly not many had high speed.

I remember in Baltimore/Washington, if I recall correctly, the storm was suppose to start Sunday. On Friday, there was mega media hype on Friday afternoon/evening newscasts. I distinctly remember them talking about a storm that was going to stall basically south of Long Island and then retrograde back to the South. I think the forecast was for 1 to 2 feet, with mentions it could be more than that.

But once the Friday 11 p.m. newscast was over, you had to wait the entire way till the Saturday 6 p.m. newscast to get much info, beside the weather channel. And, if you missed the Saturday news for whatever reason, you would have thought the forecast was a huge bust when you woke up Sunday...

A number of people who helped create this place was around then on a forum called WWBB. I joined that place ( browsed it for a few months prior ) right after this bust. A couple of days leading up to it they were saying 1-2 feet at the DE coast ( Delmarva-where i lived at the time ) with blizzard conditions and started to back off the day of but never did back off enough. I remember watching the radar as the precip developed over the ocean/Delmarva and i knew it was gonna bust. Got about 2 inches or so?

This one never really bothered me like March 93 did which was a huge bust there at the coast.

The Summer from HEAVEN.

Fixed!

LAST summer was the summer straight from hell.
