So Where's All The Snow? South Jersey Residents Sound Off
By David Madden
LOGAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. (CBS) --- Weather forecasters around the Delaware Valley missed the mark in predicting this winter storm.
That's bringing some people, like these in South Jersey who spoke to KYW Newsradio, to question how reliable those forecasts really are.
Meteorology is an inexact science. That said, Desiree Schintz, a shift manager at the Wawa in Logan Township, Gloucester County, wasn't surprised the forecast was wrong.
"The news is never right about the weather," she says.
That may be a little extreme, but there were debates overheard about whether the media hypes the weather to boost ratings.
Most are sympathetic to the challenge of putting a forecast together -- Mike Riley, Logan's Public Works Manager, is among them.
"They're trying to do the best they can, and it is what it is," he said. "I'd rather have this than the 16 inches."
