The powerful winter storm moving northeast along the coast is staying further east than forecasters expected. As a result, snow projections for Philadelphia and most of South Jersey have been downgraded to a range of 2-6 inches of additional snow by Tuesday afternoon. A huge drop from earlier projections of up to 12-18 inches in these areas.
National Weather Service meteorologist Gary Szatkowski said on Twitter early this morning that for much of New Jersey, and for the Philadelphia Metropolitan area, this is a big forecast miss.
Szatkowski told his Twitter followers just after midnight:
"My deepest apologies to many key decision makers and so many members of the general public. You made a lot of tough decisions expecting us to get it right, and we didn't. Once again, I'm sorry."http://www.newsworks.org/index.php/new-jersey-more/item/77740-blizzardof2015-is-dud-for-philadelphia-and-south-jersey?linktype=featured_articlepage
