Yeah, she could win the popular vote but not win in the states that really count. Even with her leading by 4 points in a national poll I wouldn’t be celebrating it. Trump outperforming expected polling has happened twice before and it could still happen again in a few weeks.

That’s the thing about political predictions that makes it so difficult. The predictions themselves affect the outcome. Can really throw your brain for a loop…compare to forecasting a hurricane or Seattle snowfall that cares not about the wills of mere weather weenies like us.

Kamala's people have to have some concern about complacency if she is up by say 3-5% as we get closer to election day. In theory, that shouldn't happen (complacency) as Dem voters should have bad memories about 2016 and with Kamala frequently referring to herself as the underdog, but still I wonder. Also I'm not sure if much of the general public really understands that her winning by 5% or winning by 3% could mean two entirely different outcomes in the electoral college.

Hahaha that’s what I started out doing. Assuming you don’t want to build a color coded elevation map in ArcGISPro () you can always use this site. Color bar adapts to elevation range as you zoom in/out, while retaining high resolution. https://en-us.topographic-map.com/map-qmzktj/Washington-D-C/?center=47.57089%2C-122.41936

Sounds similar to how my 95-96 winter went. I wasn't into/able to measure daily back then, but the airport down in a much less snowy location officially recorded 191.2" which confirms my "estimated 220+ inches" imby. As most know, airports are always built in "snow shy" locations. With maybe Buffalo being a rare exception? I know there's a reason the 1970's are the gold standard for winter in this region. Pellston airport, up in the "Tip-o-the-Mitt" region has about 75 yrs of data records, yet 7 of their snowiest winters were in the 70's. This is perhaps the poster child data set to make the case, lol.
