Multiple subsets of size/distribution within the same problem type #62

We had a situation where wind slab that we expected to be size 1 more widely, and in very specific locations it could be size 2 or even size 3. There is no way to express this level of granularity in the forecast currently.

One question would be how does this flow through to the calculated hazard rating and likelihood?

For likelihood we can just take the upper bound of likelihood.
For hazard we can take the upper bound of size.

Would we choose to display this on the public forecast or just keep it for record keeping purposes? What value would we choose to use for the public forecast? An average?
