Sharp cutoff between us. I'll probably score 2-4" sloppy inches

40.3f. if this puts us at avg for seasonal snow, a pig is still a pig of a winter

[dryslot]

Looks like the higher elevations are seeing a changeover to snow on Radar.

Love that 4-14" range.... when you really don't know and it is entirely possible it's 4" or 12"+.

Might actually have a chance or two

Keep an eye on next Thursday. It’s a gulf wave and although chances are low..that’s always an ominous look.

3-11" is completely understandable like Will said. Maybe if it were broken down by elevation ranges it would help, but that's a lot of work for the office.

This new formatter is so literal. It just takes the highest and lowest amounts rather than trying to pick a "most likely" snowfall bin. I usually hand edit to something more reasonable, like someone in Androscoggin was more likely to 6-10" than 3-11".

Looking at the observation thread makes me wonder how much of this region got pretty much all of their seasonal snowfall total in fall and spring with nothing to speak of during winter?
