The other thing that I expect is too easy for most to forget. If you look on the radar, these large storms are usually hundreds of miles wide. The forecasts start days ahead of time when the storms are still a thousand or more miles away.

Manchester is approximately 50 miles from Boston. With 40-60 mile an hour winds, I expect it is very difficult to predict exactly where those lines will be between Boston and Manchester. Yet that is what the public expects and complains about if you get it wrong.
