I still remember a blizzard warning back in the 80's where Dick Albert said it couldn't miss the night before and it missed, grazed the Cape, that one's always in the back of my mind.
I had a 5 pm appt and asked the guy if was prepared for the storm, he said it's missing us, I said you sure? he said yeah it's going out to sea. I told him to put on channel 5 just in case.
