Each model’s precip that falls above its snow level counts as snow, at a ratio set by the warmest temperature between the ground and 500 hPa. NAM and NBM have no snow level or column, so they use their own snowfall at 7:1 and are marked “raw”. Raw 7:1 shows every model’s own snowfall.
↘Trending less snowy: blend down 1.1″ over the last 8 cycles (6 of 10 models agree).

Time-based lookback is fairer across models: 10 HRRR runs span ~1 day, 10 GFS runs span 2.5 days.

A run counts only if it covers the whole window, so short-range models (HRRR, NAM, HRDPS) appear only for windows within ~2 days. The blend uses each model’s latest run at or before every 00/06/12/18Z cycle, and is hidden where fewer than 3 models contribute.
