[NLRS] Radar Maps and snow scatter

[Scott]

Since snow season is upon us...there will undoubtedly be opportunities 
for some 10 GHz snow scatter.  I use Intellicast to view doppler radar 
maps.  How does one know if the snow storms will be good to use?  I 
haven't seen "tops" listed on the "radar summary" page for snow.  Does 
one simply look for the heavier snow (dark blue)?  If we get some snow 
showers before I get the amp built, would it be worthwhile to try snow 
scatter with 10 mW or would that just be wasting time that I could be 
using to build the amp?
