I feel like every time there’s been a snowstorm this winter the forecasts have downplayed it and we’ve been ended up with way more snow than was forecasted initially. Most years it’s the other way around. Not sure if it’s just the models or the weather casters trying to be more conservative with their predictions.

@arjache I suspect it’s the models. Reason being we have climatologists at work who do biweekly forecasts, and I don’t think they have any incentive to be conservative.
