moneypitmike Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Way off topic........but I was just looking at the distribution of NWS offices. Why does New England require 6 offices for forecasts? Compare that to California--it also has 6. Texas has 8. What's the rationale for these distirbutions? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 It seems that this winter the models have shown us that at 7 days out a snowstorm has about a 10% chance of verifying, while at 7 days out a rainstorm has about a 90% chance of verifying.Lol, I've questioned that here for years Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 There are a lot of ridiculous things that happen in MA politics but one moniker that is simply not empirically accurate is “Taxachusetts.” Massachusetts is squarely middle of pack: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/111555224Maine ranked 5th.
