I know they mean well but seriously 1-8 is not a forecast. It’s just telling you that anything can happen. A true forecast is a range of acouple inches like 2-4. I’m fine with the zones but they need to stick their necks out a little more make a real prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just telling you that anything can happen. A true forecast is a range of acouple inches like 2-4. I’m fine with the zones but they need to stick their necks out a little more make a real prediction. They didn't explicitly have an 8 inch range. They use the probability system. This might be an unpopular opinion - but I think a forecaster is good if they communicate to the public well. I don't think a good forecaster necessarily is the one that nails a forecast to a 2 inch range. The best forecasters these days are the ones that do not hype - and show the range of possibilities. Yeah - a nailed 2 inch forecast range is great - but some of that is also luck. Banding in this area generally precludes any sort of broad brushed uniform amounts anyway.

I had 2" that i reported at 9:30. Haven't measured since and cleared my snow measuring area at 11 once it switched to mostly sleet. 2.5" sounds about right tho.
