Do we still have to put "own opinions" etc. ?
What's odd is that people may think that reading from a script seems polished, but it really doesn't come across that way to me. Well-prepared, yes, but polished? Nah. I think your slides should contain enough prompts for you to fill in the blanks of what you need to say.

I did do another plot that had 4 that used a different time base that I put on L*nk**In so I'm probably just confusing the two.

I'm sure it's snowy states with warmer temperatures = more snow. If you look at the "marginal" states (akin to England and Wales to a certain extent) a lot are dropping like stones.

No: I can't count.

Standard.

OK interesting. Would love to see if there's any live stats available to compare some simple "end-user" values like temperature, rainfall to see how out model is with increasing lead time.

Clearly there is a decrease in the snowfall of 20-25% in the mean in the DJF main winter season between the two periods, but around the edges of the season, less of a signal.

I was probably thinking dynamic.

I love the dots for precipitation on top of snow depth - great way to show the "live" accumulation.

There is a raft of model data - and it's the only place I can put model data, radar data, satellite data and observational data all plotted on the same map region to compare - e.g.

I bit the bullet a few years ago and pay £60 or so per year for meteologix. The customer service is terrible and either completely ignore or don't do any potential suggestions I have but there's a load of data on the site.
