48 hours is getting to the fairly accurate window these days for the computer models, so in general, broad forecasts 48 hours out aren't impressive. They would need to be more specific than, or point out a significant variance from the existing forecasts.skiersleft wrote: Will give credit to my sources. Fair enough. Are you on board with the rules put forth by Stormchaser?
If so, why don't you serve as the impartial magistrate that will judge WG's performance this winter? You're tough but fair, I think.
Weather description is so variable in terms of start times, duration, precipitation types and amounts, temperatures, etc, that establishing simple rules for evaluation of forecasts is going to be problematic. Judging the accuracy, same issues. Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm going to pass on that. People on this board determine their own opinion of your forecasts anyway, they don't need me to keep some kind of tally.
You want a tally? Here's the real tally. Keep track of how many powder days (defined as more than 8 inches of fresh reported by the mountain in one day) you get in this year, vs how many I get in this year. If your forecasts are so good, you'll certainly be able to arrange time off for powder days sufficently in advance of the storm. We both have to weigh the drive and time off vs the storm.
