TORONTO – A snowstorm of epic proportions failed to live up to predictions in some areas of the U.S. east coast, prompting one meteorologist to apologize for getting the #BlizzardOf2015 forecast completely wrong.

“My deepest apologies to many key decision makers and so many members of the general public,” Gary Szatkowski tweeted. “You made a lot of tough decisions expecting us to get it right, and we didn’t. Once again, I’m sorry.”

On Monday morning, forecasters were predicting close to three feet of snow will fall during the ‘blizzard of 2015’ in the New Jersey area.

Ahead of the storm, Gov. Chris Christie declared a state of an emergency and issued a state-wide travel ban.

Early Tuesday morning, Szatkowski said snow “totals are way down” compared to predictions.

Here’s how it went down on Twitter:
