Unpopular opinion here. Yes, meteorologists only get it right about 60 percent of the time when it comes to Nor'Easters. However, in their defense, they are usually incredibly hard to forecast for the I95 corridor. Temperature differences, the jet stream, etc, make it tough to call the storms more than three days ahead unless they are true monsters.
That said, I think science should 'catch up' to the impact of global warming. They're still working off average temperatures from decades ago.
