Al-Qaeda Controls Weather

Many Bostonians are wondering where yesterday's snowstorm was.
Weather forecasters predicted 8-11 inches of snow to fall yesterday in the Boston area. A light dusting, mostly melted already by today, was the only taste of the expected nor'easter.
Many schools, stores and businesses didn't open at all yesterday or closed early in anticipation of a massive display of winter weather. Governor Patrick gave the day off to the Commonwealth's "non-essential workers" (whose salary the taxpayers are paying). The precautions turned out to be mostly for naught, and great financial losses were incurred due to the closings. Additionally, the City of Boston and other districts declared a snow emergency and ticketed 3,353 and towed 229 vehicles, according to Boston.com. Those districts have decided to pardon the fines.
The residents of the Greater Boston area are turning to the weather forcasters as scapegoats and demanding public apologies for the forecast which never came true. One must face it, however, that due to the unpredictable nature of the weather, it is impossible to forecast with 100% accuracy.
The question remains with many, nontheless: how could the meteorologists have been 7-10 inches off?
Although the story may be breaking on this site, and the terrorist group has not yet claimed responsibility for the attack, it is possible that none other than Al-Qaeda was behind this extreme over-estimation. Its intent: to ruin at least half a day of finincial production for much of Boston's institutions. Its method: hack all the weather station's radars and other forecasting devices to show an enormous storm approaching, and place this sabotage strategically after much of the Mid-Atlantic was whited-out by snowstorms. It also helped that many Boston-area schools have not yet had a "snowday," that is, a closing due to snow. Thus, the anticipation, even the desire for a treacherous snowstorm was high, and the meteorologist proffessionals would be even more likely to fall for the terrorist's trap.
Of course, this is false; but it is quite entertaining to ponder such a reaction by the public.
