My issue isn't with Kuchera itself - it's a tool that attempts to boil down the prediction of ratios into an algorithm even though there are an exponential number variables that feed into that equation. It's simplistic and flawed (as is every other model) and should be taken with a grain of salt but I understand the intention and it at least makes an attempt at prediction.
Therein lies the skill of the forecaster. We do see 'lazy' forecasters (present company excluded lol) giving it a bit too much weight.
I grew up this area. I can remember many times going to school during a snowstorm. If it was particularly bad, sure, school got called, but none of this 'any flakes in the air = cancellation' stuff.
Oh, and get off my lawn.
