interesting enough there is rating service that tracks the weathermen on tv.

they found if someone just predicted everyday it will not rain and gave that as daily prediction ,they would be right more times then the weathermen are accurate.

Well my husband's friend came and plowed the parts of our driveway that we could do and he helped dig out his car too. Our little 2 stroke snow blower did as much as it could.

Got around 30" in North Shore Brookhaven. It was great snow to throw - nice and dry. Did my own (12+ car) driveway in about 2 hours and then did two of my neighbors who needed a hand. Heated handles and a cab on the snow blower make ALL the difference!

Could you imagine being a contractor and being 8-16 inches off?
They actually underdid the amounts and the range.

Lowest recorded was 8", highest was 32". So what did you say?
