Winter in New England is the toughest time of the year
to make an accurate forecast Over 50 per cent
of the storms are not straight rain or all snow.

Many of our winter storms are a combination of
snow,sleet,freezing rain and rain.The forecasting of the
location,timing and amounts of these different precipitation
types is our biggest forecasting challenge.

We do have help from doppler radar and better
computer technology,but much of it still comes
down to experience and forecasting knowledge.

So the next time the forecast is off by a few hours and
a few inches of snow,remember,it's not an exact science
and we are trying our level best to give you the best forecast
possible.
