Why do weather apps sometimes have wild snow amounts? It's not a glitch; it's model uncertainty showing its face. I broke down what the apps are actually displaying and what the public needs to know.

This is not your average winter storm! The storm is likely to fall into “the echelon of unusually impactful storms,” said Alex Lamers, a meteorologist with the Weather Prediction Center. @nytimes.com @alexlamers.bsky.social

Hurricanes in the Atlantic over the next two weeks? Nothing seems inevitable at the moment, but everything seems plausible.
