They also take into account location. If u live in Alabama, a 1 to 3 inch storm is warning level. We're as that's just an advisory here,.. but I could be totally wrong... As my wife likes to tell me lol
Looking like a decent 3-6 inch snowstorm for a lot of us in central md se pa, northern Delaware. Alot of us are probably going to exceed December climo snow before mid month!
