Fozz Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Why is our 12 Warning criteria 5"+ while it is 4"+ in southern parts of the Mt. Holly zone, which includes Philly and southern NJ? I suppose not everyone will really know the answer, but it's something to think about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 We're talking about something issued by the government here... not much of a surprise that it doesn't make complete sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowJoe Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I think it's too high for my area. It should be 4"...JMO. This would allow them to issue a watch and then switch to either an advisory or a warning without necessarily alarming people or looking foolish when we get a dusting or nothing. I know it's only an 1" but that's the way I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
