    It was like 4 inches. They’re making it more newsworthy than it ever deserves to be. I live in NYC. This was a nothing burger and will be washed away by the warm rain on Monday.

      What’s worse is I’m 5 hours north of you and you think that much snow would be even less news worthy but the goods aren’t gonna panic buy themselves.

      I was thinking the same thing… we been spoiled for years now and they crave getting a bad snow storm so bad they just make all of them seem like they will be the worst.

      I hate snow and they kept saying 8 inches which sucks, but everytime I tracked it in Google weathers app it had widely different estimates and honestly I have been believing that app more than the news for years now. Its been spot on like every time. I think I got 4 tops as well and was very happy.

        Theory 1: they over predict the weather so they can never be blamed for it being worse than predicted

        Theory 2: by simply saying we’re getting big storms even though we’re not people won’t think so much about changing weather patterns from climate change

        Theory 3: clicks clicks clicks clicks! Big storm click here!

        Theory 4: gravity
