Weatherman gets #Blizzardof2015 forecast wrong, apologizes
By Nadine Kalinauskas | Daily Buzz
It’s not always easy to say you’re sorry.
But this New Jersey weatherman took a page from the Canadian handbook and did just that,acknowledging that his blizzard forecast completely missed the mark.
On Monday morning, forecasts warned of a “crippling” and “historic” storm due to blanket New York City and northern New Jersey with up to 36 inches (91cm) of snow.
By early Tuesday morning, just 6.3 inches (16cm) of snow covered Central Park, with only about 2 more inches on the way, the National Weather Service reported. In New Jersey, where meteorologists predicted an 18-inch (45cm) dump of snow, only 3 inches (7.5cm) of snow had fallen.
Gary Szatkowski, the meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service’s office in Mt. Holly, New Jersey, was quick to apologize for the “big forecast miss” on Twitter.

I shoveled the driveway at 9PM last night…dead calm. I knew then that the weather bozos swung and missed.
