It’s why there is so much fighting in regards to these storms. Until the exact path is known it’s impossible to know where the sharp cutoffs will be. It’s the public’s fault as much as anyone else.
Whenever a major forecasts busts they crucify the meteorologists for creating panic. After a couple big misses last couple years many are afraid to overplay potentials
Also, and I’m out driving around northern Morristown for work today, the roads out here are much worse with the hills even on less snow. The fact there are inches of snow on parts of route 23 in wayne is unacceptable. Perhaps these towns are not hoping for best and preparing for worst, which they should regardless of what public is being told
