How we score a snow day
A snow day is one where at least 1″ fell, or where a forecast said it would. We score the forecast from the day before.
Close means within 2″ or 30% of what fell, whichever is larger.
What fell is the NOAA NOHRSC National Snowfall Analysis, 24 h ending 12:00 UTC. Gridded snowfall (4 km) from radar and gauge precipitation, adjusted to observer snowfall reports. Not resort-reported. Each 4 km cell averages the slope, so every resort is scored at its point nearest the cell's mean elevation.
We have stored our forecasts since Oct 26. Earlier days are replays: Predicts 1.1 run again on those days.
