MJO phase 2 · PDO negative · seasonal odds, not guarantees

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.
→Holding steady: blend within 0.0″ over the last 8 cycles (11 of 11 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.
