I'd have the rope around the neck and chair tilted back. I don't get some of the hate in the thread, I hope no one busts negative. I wouldn't wish that sh*t on my worst enemy.  

 

Being upset that you're not getting snow is perfectly reasonable, but being upset that someone else is getting snow doesn't make much sense to me.

The collective mass media freak out over potential historic totals in New York was sickening today. Not unhappy to see them look like the dolts they are.

The whole thing is embarrassing for the wx field. And they've been touting better comms for years across the whole community. The media is out of control when it comes to weather.

I feel better about this being a NYC bust, but I also feel bad for some of my friends in NNJ and the NY area. Also the more serious and sensible side of me feels bad about the bust because of its possible consequences for the meteorology field's PR and credibility. Maybe the biggest bust since March 2001?

 

Imagine if on the night of Feb 5, 2010, we found out the evening it started that the storm would be much weaker and more spotty then previously expected and we'd get 6-10. Yeah.

Yes took a flight out of BWI last night.

Smarter then me, I drove into the ct blizzard a few years ago and got stuck on the highway. Had to spend 3 hours digging the car down the off ramp to the hotel. Had a blast though, and after my gf at the time put up with all of it and even helped dig, I knew I had to marry her. Storm chases rock. Hopefully when my son is old enough I'll get back into it. Have fun.

Good point but these late bombing miller b storms are always tricky and have lead to some major busts over the years. 90% of the time those busts are from the storm taking a little too long to get its act together and in these setups every little delay is a potential bust for the sw side. This was never as safe a situation as a miller a gulf low blasting into a high blocked in. While they have every right to be very disapointed I wouldn't be as shocked that this fell apart then if a gulf miller a did.
