Tornado watch 'Gon Bust' If there's a 30% chance of 2+ tornadoes, that means there's a 70% chance of 0-1 tornadoes. So if there's no tornadoes, is it a bust? We go over this every year.

WVclimo Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 That was in between snowstorms. I remember it well. It had been below zero imby a couple of days before, then we got over 2" of rain on top of a 2' deep snowpack in western Md. Then it went right back to snowy for the next several weeks.
