Snow maps are just one tool in the weather toolbox. When I post them, I am not saying that they are right or wrong. It is just one possible solution in a range of outcomes.
The closer that we get to an event, they take on a little more significance, especially if we ever get some reasonable model agreement.
The snow maps also carry a little more weight if the storm potential fits the pattern and has telleconnection support. Storm track and Storm type also are good guides as to how our region might perform.
October starts on Friday…our time is coming soon!
