Inaccuracies are more than just numbers: they are school kids and parents thrown off routines, snow clearing operations improperly prepared and businesses that depend on accurate weather predictions left to scramble and re-organize.
The tried and true response of, “Weather in New England is hard to predict” just doesn’t cut it in instances where some communities fall as much as half a foot shy of predictions, as was the case in this March nor’easter for parts of northeast Connecticut, northern Rhode Island and suburbs south of Boston.
Here’s the scientific insight: It’s not imagination – this winter absolutely has featured more unpredictability than most. The mild winter, with a lack of deep cold air, has meant marginal temperatures for rain and snow, time and again. The bottom line: when looking at the incredible difference in amounts over small areas with some of this year’s storms — and the incredible lack of snow for some vs. prediction — we just haven’t reached that level of accuracy for these particular, marginal temperature cases yet.
