I wonder if they're going to have to pay up to LinWood or something like that in the future then, I always wanted to get videos of FLS responding but I guess I never will now lol

It's not real, Kidderville is an unofficial village and can't gave any laws of its own.

Is that super recent? Last time I heard them dispatched was back in December and they couldn't even make it to the call

I haven't seen any for snow since that's not my strong suit, but I've seen it a couple time for severe thunderstorm events up here

ASOS comes in clutch here, when I was running the spreadsheet I only tracked the forecast and real numbers from towns with ASOS or COCORAHS stations

I've thought about doing that for a while, but I've lacked in my tracking of the models the last few storms unfortunately so my data is a bit further behind than I'd like

Looking into models is awesome! My one recommendation is to always compare the results afterward using a spreadsheet or something like that. Really helps show which models are biased toward certain styles of storms.

The 10:1 Ratio is just not a fun model to use, the Kuchera Ratio tends to play nicer in my experience. Either way, predicting snowfall totals using solely these maps often does over-forecast for many reasons, especially the low resolution on these longer-range models you're using and the fact that not all snow that falls will stick.
​
As for what the broadcast media says, a lot of that depends on who the on-air met will be for that show, as they tend to make their own graphs and may interpret something differently or have their own model preferences, etc. The NWS will often (but not always) be more reliable since they'll have teams working on each forecast.
​
TLDR: Snow is hard to forecast!

Every day, in season or not. Sometimes it's at noon sometimes it's 10pm. Just an obnoxious neighbor who has a vendetta against soda.
