The problem is that these so called meteorologists don't do any actual weather research themselves they let a computer tell them what is going to happen.
Before all this dopplar Bull shtuff they would look at wind speed, wind direction, dew points, temperatures, pressure systems, etc and actually track them with scientific data. Now the computers generate all the information and no one looks it over to examine it to see if it's correct.
If you looked at the maps last night around 6 pm you would see the part of the storm that was suppose to sweep up the coast and mix with the cold winds got pushed out over the ocean really fast because of the jet stream.
I told my wife we weren't getting anything but that people way north of us would and that's pretty much what happened.
