According to the Northwest Avalanche Center, 7 inches of snow fell on Saturday and 19 inches of snow Sunday through this morning (with the pass being closed this morning due to avalanche danger). Among those who work at Snoqualmie Summit, there is a general consensus that the NWS forecast seems to frequently get it wrong in terms of the amount of snowfall (under estimates) and the air temperature (over estimates). My general question is how are forecasts/computer models revised relative to actual results?CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803776823134907160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-48827140307138408702022-02-28T07:52:32.939-08:002022-02-28T07:52:32.939-08:00The news has other distractions than a rainy day i...The news has other distractions than a rainy day in Seattle.
