Well, I am sure your job is easier to be perfect at.
Mets are in a pickle...people want accurate (as in 100% accurate, apparently) forecasts further out in time, and the same people are too dense to get up to the minute info even though it is available 24/7 on TV and the internet.
Forecasts are now more accurate than ever. 100% perfection is impossible even a day out. That's atmospheric dynamics for you.

Son and daughter-in-law are in Cambridge. He tells me the drifting is about 4-5 feet this morning off of about 20 inches of snow and steady 30-40 mph wind. DIL stayed over at Mass. General last night as there was no way she could get back there this morning as the trains aren't running. Most of the other docs stayed also, probably a good time to be a patient. lol
Yeah, but the forecast sucked because the real snow was literally a few miles outside of NYC.
Everyone knew the track could shift a little east or west. The problem is if they botch it the other way and the largest city in the US ends up with a foot or two of extra snow. Then everyone is very pissed.

This just in...Newsflash: It usually snows a lot in the northeast in January.
Further, no need to worry about a 24 hour weather prediction anyway. We are all due to be extinct within a few short years. The computer models are predicting.....Ehhhhh........Is the world climate cooling or warming now??? Not sure what the tree huggers are saying this month? Either way, we will be boiling or frozen in the rising seas..........

Different models of different things.
I should post for you a model predicting two feet of snow for your ass this weekend.

Take it easy Al Roker. Laughing at all the weather hysteria and sensationalism over a snow storm in January is as funny as watching an old Seinfeld episode.
I get that they have to be better hysterical than accurate, but CNN showed once again why no one takes them (especially Don Lemon) seriously amy more.
30+ inches with high winds is a little more than your typical January snowstorm.
Metro Boston took it right up the kiester.
