OK, no sense postponing the inevitable. Snow amounts have been sharply curtailed. New products coming out now from @NWS_MountHolly

Products are still in process of updating, so give it a little more time if you click and the previous product comes up.

People along the Jersey shore in Monmouth & Ocean counties should keep a close eye on the weather. Snow amounts have been cut back…

,,,but a band of heavy snow is rotating in off the ocean, and blizzard conditions due to strong winds & reduced visibilities still possible

My deepest apologies to many key decision makers and so many members of the general public.

— Gary Szatkowski (@GarySzatkowski) January 27, 2015

You made a lot of tough decisions expecting us to get it right, and we didn't. Once again, I'm sorry.

This is a big storm further off to our northeast. New York City will see good amounts of snow, and for portions of New England it will…

…be very high impact. But for much of New Jersey, and for the Philadelphia Metropolitan area, this is a big forecast miss.

@katebilo Next time someone brags about the Euro, this storm event for our area is coming up an an example of not being the case.

@RyanMaue @katebilo We'll see how its plays out overall. But subjectively, the GFS has earned some bragging rights over Euro in Philly area.

@wall_cloud Then I have a lot of learning potential from this event.

@JenAnsbach You're going to get more snow. But total amounts are way down.

— Gary Szatkowski (@GarySzatkowski) January 27, 2015

@yo_yull My deepest apologies to those who made decisions based on the forecast. It may cost them in multiple ways.

— Gary Szatkowski (@GarySzatkowski) January 27, 2015
