Haha, I guess the important take away from all that is that being there and pulling the trigger (or deciding NOT to pull the trigger) is way more important than any estimation we could make based on the rain or snow.
Sometimes the bad part of being an engineer (with a bad case of OCD according to my wife
) is that when you know how to run calculations like this, unfortunately sometimes you TRY to make the calcs, rather than just realizing that 10min at the range can tell you as much as 2hrs of calculations... I'm always trying to keep myself in check and not get so dug into the details that I forget that "empirical experimentation", aka just shooting the dang thing, will usually give more precise results!
