NWS Forecast Accuracy

NWS overpredicts by 100% at Winter Park

Our calibrated estimates are based on 5 verified storms. When NWS says 12 inches, reality is closer to 0 inches. Don't book flights based on NWS numbers alone.

Dataset severely limited by data gaps (Storms 2–5 have no verified SNOTEL depth/SWE). Only Storm 1 is verifiable and shows complete NWS overprediction (1.1" forecast → 0.0" actual). March timing and low snow levels suggest marginal conditions where forecasts struggle. High wind speeds (19–25 mph) present across all storms may indicate post-storm erosion or sublimation affecting verification. Recommend expanding dataset with additional verified storms before operationalizing correction rules.

Storm Day Strategy

March storm pattern: Winter Park expected to receive 36" while Front Range gets 12-20". Ski Sunday night/Monday for best snow quality; avoid Saturday mob scenes. Expect heavy I-70 corridor traffic with potential Eisenhower/Loveland Pass closures. Blower pow days and stable backcountry are not the norm; YTD snowfall typically 146-350" range. Storm timing matters: 7°C sunny conditions before Sunday night dump create corn conditions Saturday.
