Come on, guys.  Did you watch the weather reports?  Most accumulation predictions were in the 2-5" range.  I think the problem is that everyone's looking for a minimum of 12" everytime it snows.  Our expectations have been overinflated by the last four years.

I stick up for the mets when they are reasonably correct. But sorry devils' I have to disagree - I responded to you on the same issue in the 3 to 6 in. thread. NWS way overstated the impact for my area.

My apologies.  I hadn't really paid attention to the NWS forecasts.  I was mostly watching the newscasts, which seemed to do a much better job this time.  Cioffi said 3-6 for North Jersey, 1-3 for Central and South Jersey.  I think CBS had the widest range, guessing that anywhere from 2-7" could fall.  I'm assuming that these were low-confidence forecasts and it sounded like another tricky storm to call.
