With the sREFs, the NAM, and the HRRR all on board giving us an absolutely historical blizzard and the NWS telling us 13 - 18 inches, I have no clue why TV meteorologists are still saying "6 - 10 inches." Are they really hugging the EURO this much and think everything is going to come around to support the EURO?

I was at the dry cleaner's this morning and the owner said that the TV meteorologists have "no clue." He said they only get it right when its sunny. I do agree that they often do a very poor job communicating risk. Even before things rapidly evolved yesterday, the event was an example of a low probability, high impact risk that should have been conveyed, as it had some support.

195 is like exit 100 on the parkway

well, generally, where they converge in woodbridge, that's the area i would look at as north of i95; could use new brunswick as a rough guide too. the river is kind of a border so to speak, but this is all back of the envelope stuff. you never really know where the lines might set up.

 Not defending it, because it was irresponsible at the time. But you do recall how everyone on here jumped at the NY Post for it's sensational headline a few days ago warning of "up to a foot" ... It's a really fine line between hype and communicating risk
