>Imagine if 10in were forecast and then NYC actually got 2 feet.

i'm imagining it, and not really seeing the problem. 10" and 2' are both enough snow that you probably don't want to drive in it unless you have to. It might make a difference for the snow plow operators or the skiers, but for the average person the only thing they need to know is "should i plan to drive to work in the morning" and the weather forecasters correctly predicted "no".




Another incentive is the audience: people will watch the news much more if the forecast is really bad.
