My husband has PD.. we're in a snow belt.. very long driveway (500 + ft) Having to pay for someone to plow when it snows every day or every other day can get expensive so he bought me a snowblower a couple of years ago (which I absolutely love btw.. Troy-Bilt Storm Tracker with tracks instead of tires) so I like to check to see how much snow is in the forecast. I've noticed as of late.. the sites I use are not using inches anymore. Most notably Weather Underground. Now there are simply dashes --- and mostly % instead.
Why? Are they so inaccurate that is less incriminating to not put actual inches? Thank you for providing a thread I can vent about this on.  Just checked W U and they have revamped their whole look. I miss the simple "inches" forecast  Interesting observation...  I remember when a polar vortex was called an arctic cyclone. Now they name all winter storms which i find odd. It's probably for fear mongering honestly. Get people out buying supplies. But it is weird they are changing from inches to percentages. Guess they don't want people catching on to how incapable they are when it comes to forecasting.
