Latest from the CLI reports (RIC does not have one out yet for today, though)
BWI: 8.9"
DCA: 4.6"
IAD: 10.6"
RIC: 4.4"
New leader is @tplbge who's trying to be the only person ever to win both the heat and the snow contests (also dead-on-balls accurate for DCA). @H2O is really close though.
I just saw that on the PNS reports. I'll wait until this afternoon's CLI reports before making the update. Let @Rhino16 enjoy his (or her?) lead the next few hours.
So far:
BWI: 6.9"
DCA: 4.4"
IAD: 10.6"
RIC: 4.4"
(yes, DCA and RIC are tied- it's not a typo)
We have a new leader - @Rhino16
@H2O is looking good too now.
I’m still shoveling the 8-12” he gave me for the last two systems. Take whatever he forecasts for SoMD and divide it by ten- then it should be accurate.
It just seems like the model chaos is way worse than any other year I’ve watched (and I’ve been watching for about 12 years now). Too many solutions and waves and events- it’s going over my head. I’ll just measure whatever I get and send it in the spotter reports.
Like I said above, for every system the Euro seems to be too far south this year. I wouldn't worry much about it, the northern tier people always fret over being fringed and then the rug pull comes for us with less than 12 hours to go.
I was supposed to do the usual halftime report but forgot.
I think @RodneyS is gonna claim the snow measuring was rigged and demand access to the airports as they count the flakes. God help us if he’s the runner up.
BWI can’t get it done this year so I’m kinda liking @Cobalt as of now.
I’m just hoping for my 4th consecutive top ten.
The person who has the lowest absolute value departures at all four airports is the winner. The first post in this thread has a link that explains it in more detail.
Updated:
BWI: 6.2" (wtf? how did they only get 0.1" today!?)
DCA: 3.8"
IAD: 10.1"
RIC: 4.3"
@Clueless is finding every way possible to hold onto the lead.
