To be fair, you have done well every storm. Might not have maxed out for what was forecast but done better than some. Your location makes up for losing qpf. I think thats what makes it difficult to read those who freak out over every little shift. So what you lose .25"? If you still get 5" on less because its colder thanks to your location others will need that extra .25" because its harder to get 3" let alone 5"
