No, the Kuchera formula is actually not that complicated...it takes the max temp in the column between and if it's greater than 271K (basically 28F), the formula is ratio = 12 + 2(271K - Tmax)....so if the max temp is like 33F, you'd have ratio = 12 + 2 (271 - 274) = 12 - 6 = 6...so we should get like a 6 to 1 ratio if a Tmax of 33F....if it's 32F, then maybe like 8 to 1.
