Richmond gets more snow than DCA and IAD?  Bold call there sir 

Well it did happen last year (17/18)... and only missed IAD by 0.2" the year before (16/17)...

I don't have complete snowfall data for Richmond so I wonder how often that really does happen- if I had to guess, it would be more likely in low snow total winters where its more subject to random variation.

About five days left to enter- we have 48 contestants so far.

Notable absences include @Bob Chill , super weenie @attml and previous champions @Stormpc and @olafminesaw

Also some of you (like @George BM ) need to post an actual forecast. I'm actually not sure if @WxWatcher007 forecast is a troll or serious at this point though. :lol:

This happened last year too around this time- all the forecasts were going higher and higher (95-96 REDUX!!!111”) ...then it started looking like crap and a few people cliff jumped and edited the forecasts back on Nov 30.

Happening again this year lol

If you enjoy predicting snowfall, two other opportunities:

(a) 18th annual NE-US snowfall contest at

http://www.newx-forecasts.com/#RULES

(during the season, 20th annual storm forecast contests, lots of fun, numerous AmWx members involved)

firm deadline end of Friday 30th, season is only Dec 1 to Mar 31 so ignore current totals. ... 25 locations around the eastern U.S. incl the four we have here and SBY.

and

(b) Great Lakes - Ohio valley regional forum snow contest, over in that forum

not a firm deadline (I set this one) and you could enter on Dec 1 or 2 -- the current totals are in the entry form and they count towards contest totals.

worth a visit if you want to see snowfalls to date in the Midwest (42" MQT). 

-------------------------------------------------------

Looking forward to this one and the Dec 21-22 snowstorm (8-12")

Nothing better than updating this 2 minutes before deadline!

RIC: 16.8"

 

Tiebreaker - SBY: 12.1"
