[QUOTE="Allen, post: 212325, member: 389"] It is exceptionally rare to see either of those ratios. What is more common in ND is a ratio of about 12-13 inches of snow to an inch of water when it's the heavy, wet stuff. Or around 20-24" of snow to an inch of water when it's the light and fluffy. About the only time you see the 30 ratio is when you get a skiff of snow that blows like cotton in the wind, but there's no wind so it falls very lightly and maintains something near it's original crystalline structure, as opposed to blowing around and getting turned into very fine grained snow.

Pretty rare they hang their hat on any one model, usually they blend the models together based on how well they've been performing lately. So yeah, I don't think they're a fan of the graphics that have been used on this thread.
