Blood is thicker than Giants fandom

Harvey Leonard (yes, that Harvey Leonard) tweets:

Our younger daughter is married & lives in NY. Her husband is a Giants fan, but she is on her way here to root for Pats.

Harv is also predicting a 30-24 Patriots win. Don't scoff - this is the man who correctly predicted the Blizzard of '78. Going even farther back, J.L. Bell shows us that Samuel Adams was a prescient man.

Pete Bouchard has a bigger forecast than Harvey Leonard

While Harvey Leonard was only calling for 6-10 inches on Wednesday in tonight's forecast, Pete Bouchard was telling us could get up to 15 inches: "Wow! We're going to get hit pretty hard on the South Shore!" he said - adding Boston is also in that big band.

Harv did get points, however, for mentioning the Blizzard of '78, although he was referring to the Washington storm the other day. Pete, meanwhile, was pooh-poohing the 6,000-person snowball fight in DC: "You won't see us calling it 'Snowmageddon,' he said.

Why are you reading this? You should be out buying bread, eggs and milk!

We went to French Toast Code Orange earlier this afternoon based on this forecast. And now Harv confirms we were right to panic: Look, he's posted his dread three exclamation points of wintry doom!!! So you know we're in for a rough weekend.

Now hold on there, Harv

Steve Nadis objects to Harvey Leonard trying to whip us into a weather frenzy by showing a temperature map that extends all the way to the North Pole.

Poor Harvey Leonard

Were those tears in Harv's eyes last night as he explained how the jet stream is keeping all the cold air away from us? Looked like the poor boy was just barely holding it together - dammit, if we don't get a good old-fashioned Nor'easter soon, his head will just explode (let's all get together and send him some weather love, shall we?).

But the best part of his forecast actually came right after he told us to break out the short sleeves for the next two weeks - a promo for StormTrak 5 featuring parka-clad New Englanders struggling to shovel ten-foot-high snowdrifts as the Voice of God commanded us to stay tuned to Channel 5 for the latest severe-weather information.
