Sometimes the forecast doesn't quite work out as expected. More accurately, sometimes the forecast sucks. Of the big three major forecast outfits, AccuWeather started the "big storm" drumbeat Friday night, the Weather Service joined in yesterday, while the Weather Channel, to its credit, never really got on the bandwagon. Gothamist had to laugh early this morning when an AccuWeather forecaster on 880 WCBS blamed the storm for "fizzling out" rather than accept responsiblity for a bad forecast. Way to be a mensch! The storm itself didn't fizzle out, either, dude. Eastern Massachussetts and points northward are getting whomped with up to ten inches of snow today.
