The best news I have had today is seeing your post,old Buddy, and knowing everything is OK.CP was about to revoke your citizenship on OTI,LOL.

Welcome back, pal-o-mine, we've got a beauty to track and watch develop here.Good timing!

Thank you Doc. I just hope my area is not left out of this possible historic event. With my luck I'll be where the sharp cut off area is and I'll see snow flurries. UGH !

But many will claim they were correct, like Amy Freeze who kept gong with the 2.5 inches the idiot reported in CPK. Lonnie Quinn will also claim his 0-2 inches was on the mark. It's madness and it's driving me mad.

Every measurement in NYC was 4 - 5” so it was def widespread under forecast but cpk saved the day.

Correction JFK had 3.4"...that makes sense though seeing its location right on the shore... Even they had more than cpk.

That 2.5 in Central Park has to be a mistake.Can it be corrected?

I've tried. Please e-mail NOAA, instruction on the email about the zookeeper thread. It's helped in the past.
