The 4 Seasons Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 10 minutes ago, dendrite said: Well snow measuring is an inexact science and probably the most difficult variable we routinely measure. It’s difficult to standardize measurements. And yeah, human error can really increase the errors as well. Yeah i just recently read through NWS' 14 page COOP snow measurement guidelines PDF. On the surface you wouldn't think that it's that complicated, but theres so many different variables and things to consider. I guarantee the average person who sends a public report thinks, "how can that be? you just stick a ruler in the ground after it snows and thats it" We have all these different programs with different standards with CoCoRaHs, CO-OP, Skywarn..etc. It would be nice if there was just one umbrella for everything I ran across this other program when looking at old PNS from the late 90s and early 00s that i can't figure out what it is. Something called SWIN observers? I tried searching but couldn't find anything. I was thinking maybe it was an acronym for SkyWarn Independent Network or something like that? Or it's something completely different that's obsolete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago lol…that’s the storm system. ACATT should want the AI to verify there unless you want the system to stay south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinRP37 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I think the CPC climate maps cause confusion for many. They are simply probabilities and should not be red and blue. People seem to think they are actual magnitudes. “Oh look dark red for this area, it’s going to torch!” Meanwhile the forecast is for 38-42 or a touch above. Same thing in July then it looks dark blue for 90-100% chance of below normal and the highs are 80-84. Below normal but just by a touch. They should also have a corresponding map that would show the estimated departure range. Just a thought since I see those tossed around a lot.
