What I saw early yesterday was reports that the computer models did not agree . But warnings is all you can expect. Taking action can make a difference;ask Katrina New Orleans victims who did not and Rita victims who did. The difference was emergency management officals in the local areas.
What's the connection between members of one profession discussing recorded (as in, in the past) global temperatures and members of another making forecasts (as in, in the future) about the weather in one little bit of the planet in one day? You seem to believe there is one. What is it?

I see that climatechange.org - an unbiased source indeed - is trying desperately to explain away the terrible track record of computer models by throwing in the red herring "weather vs climate" nonsense. The fact remains that both models rely on numerous variables that we can't easily predict, and don't really understand their impact. Plus they leave out countless variables that we can't measure or don't even know about and try to predict what will happen in the earth's atmosphere at a certain time or place. And that crap about climate models not being area specific is just that -crap. We hear constantly how this area will melt and that area will become arid or this area will have more hurricanes. Next time I'll just call Miss Cleo.
alright then lets talk buffalo. its fairly near by, and endures weather like that yearly.
Why? That would still be off topic. An inch of snow shuts Portland, Or down Yet Spokane, WA can get a foot of snow and still function just fine. Different regions handle snow differently. So you can't compare Buffalo to New York City when it comes to snowfall and how it is handled.
The GFS actually did a good job calling where the snow would hit hardest. The consensus however had NYC in the bullseye zone
