alright then lets talk buffalo. its fairly near by, and endures weather like that yearly.
We do hear of devestating storm surge in Buffalo every year. About a dozen Homes were condemned in 1 town.
You have to remember there are 3 party's to a nor'easter
1. snow
2. Wind
3. storm surge
Storms in the Midwest have 1 maybe 2 of those.
There were sustained winds up to 60mph+ gusts to 80 (for 15+ Hours)that's cat 1 hurricane strength, does anyone make play down hurricanes?
OP, The difference between the 6" I got and 1-2 plus feet in much of LI and New England was just a few dozen miles the storm went east. 24 miles on a planet is like a tenth of an inch of height on a man..miniscule.
I could have sworn denialists have been told that weather isn't climate several times. I guess they just don't grasp that fact. Or they do grasp it but are compelled by some twisted sense of loyalty to repeat talking points they know are garbage.
Also, meteorologists aren't climatologists, so stuff like "they can't predict a snow storm 1 day and claim to know what will happen in 50 years" doesn't make any sense. It's like complaining that a dentist gives bad haircuts.

Beyond that, they did predict a snowstorm, so the comment is totally nonsensical.
Every time I ask for actual studies or evidence of global warming or man made climate change or global climate disruption or global energy change or whatever they are calling it this week I am assured that "computer models" are all in agreement and support global warming. Well, those same computer models were all in agreement 24 hours ago that we would have a blizzard with three feet of snow and they couldn't have been more wrong. How are we supposed to trust their 100 year doomsday predictions?
Are computer models a bust?
I don't know, how often are they correct vs. incorrect?
Your sample size is far too small to make a call. I suspect it's purposely very tiny just so only one (illogical) conclusion could be drawn from it.
