Maplewood Reacts to Blizzard-That-Wasn't

Many local and state residents have taken to social media and other media outlets to voice concerns regarding predictions of the blizzard-that-wasn’t.
What is your reaction? Let us know in the comments. Did forecasters and public officials overreact, or did they do what they needed to do?

The criticism comes just as outlets such as the Weather Channel and the National Weather Service are saying that more snow - perhaps 1 to 3 inches - could be coming New Jersey’s and Pennsylvania’s way on Sunday.

The National Weather Service has even issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook, saying that light snow will fall across New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania on Thursday and Friday, but a bigger storm with a snow-and-rain mix will be coming Sunday night and Monday morning.

Gov. Chris Christie banned travel on all New Jersey roads after 11 p.m. Monday, and television commentators took to the airwaves early Tuesday, questioning why the governor didn’t end the ban until 7:30 a.m. since between 2 and 8 inches fell across the state.

Christie has taken heat lately for spending nearly half of last year out of New Jersey in what appears to be a not-so-secret run for president in 2016. This week, he formed a political action committee that appears aimed at his national ambitions.

Meteorologists took to Twitter to apologize for their predictions Tuesday while Christie defended his decisions.
