Interesting....so Jay and stowe is the the above zone, but pretty much anything south of Burlington is average.

On a side note, who the hell plotted this map? I know Denver isn't in Eastern Colorado.... :/

Clearly not to scale. They're just trying to show that snowfall is going to be above average for the mountains, but not for Denver.

Denver doesn't get **** for snow anyway.They only average about 12 inches more than Boston.

These type of things happen sometimes when people make maps on places they're not familiar with.

Denver is closer to the eastern side than it is to the Western side. Should be maybe at the edge of the blue but not much further west and Omaha shouldn't be in Iowa either

 

[skiNEwhere]

I agree, Denver is closer to the eastern side, but that map puts it somewhere in between Limon and Burlington. I think if they shifted the snowline and city of Denver over west, it would be correct, since I doubt the flatlands of colorado would get more snow.

But I'm not a meteorologist

So if I understand this map correctly, the "above" region is going to miss Cannon by about 10 miles. Naturally.

These predictions are not usually correct, when it snows go to the mountain.

 

[St. Bear]

Generally weather forecasts do not account for elevation.

Maybe out west where the swath of Rocky Mountains are big enough and everything is at elevation. But here in the east, not so much. For example, a forecast for northern NHS can be assumed to be at Lincoln, and Cannon colder than predicted.

 

[LasersInTheTaiga]

and Cannon colder than predicted.

Now that I believe. I also always forget about the "Cannon Effect", in which all the snow blows off the mountain, making all snowfall statistics moot anyway.

Wow this is ridiculous! I suppose Rochester is somewhere in the High Peaks region too.

I wish it was.

Scotty, when did you start working at MSNBC?
Hey, at least Scranton is in PA. Looks like they've got it somewhere near Williamsport.
