... I'm having trouble taking you seriously. nossy Send a noteboard - 12/09/2017 04:04:19 PM

Based on what storms this size usually create, they gave estimates. I mostly read geeky real weather sites, and I saw much larger estimates than what happened. Understatement based on minimums seems more irresponsible, so I know what I'd rather believe until the reality proves me wrong (or right).

This is one of the few mainstream articles I've read, and I'm not a meteorologist, but it enlightened me on a few points.
