No, they were not "very accurate". Very accurate would have been, It's winter in the north east and we are going to get snow this weekend.

7. 21.5 inches (at least)
Jan. 26-27, 2015: Boston continues to see severe weather as the day goes on, and the storm is already one of the city’s largest ever. Roads and transit have been closed all day.

Well then there you go. It was a snowstorm, they were lightly off on where it would hit, some got lots of snow and some didn't. If you didn't get hit by it, be happy and move on..

It is a good thing Boston got the warning about this storm. It would have been much worse if they didn't know it was coming.

How dare you question the Green Gods! There can be no correlation.

Spare us Nancy. That storm would be a joke in Chicago or Nashua. A monthly occurrence.
The weather forecasters owe us a refund.

Boston took about 21 inches of snow. For them that is a big deal. We aren't talking about Chicago or Nashua.

Generally speaking, how many careers do you know of where a person can be wrong so much of the time and still keep their job?
