Omegaraptor Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Goddamn that NAM run is horrible. Straight up rain here at hour 66-72.

But, I think using the 10:1 snow ratio is likely more accurate Sure, super cold temps can mean higher ratio, sloppier wetter snow has lower ratios, but I think 1:10 is better for setting expectations. Kuchera is typically more colorful, definitely more "Alice in Wonderland," LOL, but in terms of realistic expectation setting and discussing amongst those who know a bit more than the average person about the weather, the standard ratio is probably the best bet. 1 -------------------- Sean Nyberg IG: @SeanNyberg X: @SeanNyberg Facebook: Sean Nyberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
