New NWS Snow/Ice Totals Forecast Products

[Ted Jacobson]

Effective Dec. 1, 2015, the Charleston WV National Weather Service office,
which is responsible for watch/warning/forecast products for many Southeast
Ohio counties, will begin issuing Experimental Snow/Ice Total products ahead
of anticipated winter storms.  Graphical and tabular products will show the
least, most likely, and largest snow amounts a storm is likely to produce.

Narrow ranges between the minimum and maximum snowfall totals
indicate high forecast certainty, while large ranges between
minimum and maximum totals indicate low forecast certainty.
