I mean ... maybe the forecasters were fed false data for a reason and they forecasted correctly according to the data ....
Just sayin'
I'm the guy that tells you there is a war WITH terror (fear) in that, we have been cowtowed into being afraid of everything just because someone else has said so
Freepers here have been making statements all day like ... "I check my barometer", or .. " I look out the window"
I don't listen to AM TV, nor satalite, nor cable ... we have one of those air boxes/antenna's that pulls in about 4 or 5 pretty good digitals which we watch at night for a movie of a cop show .... so I never heard the hype
Just sayin'
The forecasters did not get it wrong. It went exactly as they planned. The MSM got their ‘news stories’ and the stores got their sales.
But of course, it's settled science...
That it does, and the mind numbed uncritical thinkers lap it up and accept it at face value.
They had hoped that Sandy would be super destructive.
It was only very damaging to NYC and immediate low lying areas nearby.
We got heavy rain.. whoopee.
They were predicting where I am at to be “devastated”.
They salivate at the idea of having an Obama Katrina so they can “show the world how it is done.”
*snort*
Considering they botched the recovery of Sandy up so badly, I am certain the recovery from a real serious event would be doubly botched.
Anymore it’s always the worst storm to ever hit.
This type of weather isn’t new to the Northeast, it’s been going on for centuries.

gives the bigger storms over the last 200 years in the NY and east coast area but only the most notable; there were plenty of others.
Interesting stats toward the bottom. This is a media generated circus that feeds the government officials to mobilize and look like they care. The blizzard of 1947 was so huge it affected half the country.

Yeah, just look at their models.
*eyes shift left and right*
It was/is a huge storm in New England. I’ve 30 inches on the ground w/ 5 ft. drifts and another 3-5” on the way overnight. Thank God for my snow-blower.
Well, they can’t create dramatic television with the simple facts.
I can fault them. NYC got moderate snow, 15 miles East, it was 20 inches. Shutting down NYC might have been an overreaction, but the forecast was pretty close.
You betcha! The “science is settled”
LOL!
But there is consensus.
Then they should not be 30 miles off.
Gotta love that, right?
Like I love a kick in the nuts! :-)
modern computer models are subject to errors just like the old ones were. The old saying still applies, “garbage in, garbage out.” Add to that the lack of scientific discipline of today’s scientists coupled with their always seeking the government dole, all adds up to inaccurate results. The fact that we rely so heavily on computer modeling in so many aspects of life is scary.
Slow news day -
Snow news day - -
No news day - - -
The thing you have to realize is that the streets were clean and clear and the subways were ready to start rolling again because of the precautions they took. You can argue if it was necessary but you can’t leave that out.
And the warmists have an almost religious zeal to them over it too.
