[QUOTE="Allen, post: 336439, member: 389"] What kind of govt conspiracy/coverup, BS is this? Near as I can tell, all three NWS offices that operate in our area (Grand Forks, Bismarck, and Aberdeen) routinely put out a list of precip totals after major events on their respective Facebook pages. I don't think they necessarily do this if they are expecting, and actually receive 1-2 inches of snow, but I know damn well they routinely do if there are forecasts for 4+ inches. For example, back in December we had a pretty good snow event take place just after Christmas. And here's the FB snow total list the Bismarck office of the National Weather Service put out: [URL]https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=225661889748577&set=a.187160793598687[/URL] Oddly enough, just the day before they had this forecast out: [URL]https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=225055653142534&set=a.187160793598687[/URL] Just because I don't get the forecasts and end results emailed to me doesn't mean the forecasters are hiding it from me.
