CSoul Intervention Needed
I think it's pretty funny that people seem to expect the government to be quick and accurate with the snow sensors
even though every other example we have with COVID or elections or taxes shows they are completely incapable of that even with simpler things. Here is a view of how delayed it is. This is a map of stations reporting on snow depth changes over the last 4 days. Snowbird is only reporting 17" to the government in the last 4 days even though their site shows 27" in the last 2 days! And that's across the board. Delays right now seem to be extensive and also just bad data in many of them. Sorry for the massive link.
