And it's dumbfounding how they called that a KU. You could name 10 other storms that affected the Northeast/ mid Atlantic far worse than this one did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSI is calculated for specific regions (Northeast, Southeast, …). Only the snowfall within a particular region is used to calculate the index for that region. NESIS on the other hand uses snowfall and population information from the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. in its calculation. Therefore NESIS is a quasi-national index. The "Northeast" designation is due to the fact that the algorithm used to calculate NESIS has two constants specifying the average area and population affected by 10" or more snowfall. So NESIS can be considered a quasi-national index that is calibrated to the Northeast. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/snow-and-ice/rsi/faq For the statisticians among us: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/snow-and-ice/rsi/nesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
