PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my good buddy Joe Stalin liked to point out, the actual vote is not as important as who counts the vote. More seriously, I think the NWS does a good job of monitoring snow totals -- that's why adjustments are sometimes made after the fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The Capital Weather Gang is reporting that BWI has now picked up 2.6 inches in this storm. If that's the case, tplbge is the new leader with H20 second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just measure ice for the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 RIC now reporting 7.0" after 2.6" fell today. I see BWI at 9.0 and DCA at 4.5 by the way (0.1 went to wrong station perhaps?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 BWI stole 0.1" from DCA and RIC added a bunch: BWI: 9.0" DCA: 4.5" IAD: 10.6" RIC: 7.0" @H2O is now the leader. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 I’m still laughing about DCA getting snow deleted- when your airport sucks so bad you actually have negative snow accumulations now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Rooting for another 1-2” inches for everyone but Richmond. Seems doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 So... bad news. I was at my file limit on this site and deleted all my stored pictures, not realizing that doing that also apparently deletes the pictures within your posts. So none of the previous leaderboard images work now. So I'm just reposting the last one. (I know there's more snow from the PNS reports, but I'll update tomorrow). Good news though- I found an easier way to compile my spreadsheet every time. Airport totals will now also be displayed at the top within the image (don't ask me why I never thought of doing this before). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Tried posting the excel file directly but it didn’t work right- I’ll just keep using screenshots then. I have a new and improved visual design for you all which will debut tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyS Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 A very exciting race this year, especially compared to last season's wire-to-wire yawner. FYI, I merely need a two-part weather miracle to win (excluding any tiebreaker): (1) No more than 0.3 inches of additional snow at the three Baltimore-Washington area airports combined; and (2) In a best case (no more snow at any of those three airports), between 0. 7-1.3 inches of snow at RIC.

aldie 22 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thursday could shake things up quite dramatically if it plays out as it looks now, of course we know it won't so congrats H20 on your victory 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 I'm going to be leading by Friday morning- just FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Unless this thing explodes you will be near the top, with seven weeks to go until it gets too warm for snow ... seven agonizing, slowly unfolding weeks of dribs and drabs of snow that will move mappy and stormpc inexorably closer to victory.

RodneyS Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 RIC has received only a trace so far today, and so the current standings should be correct pending overnight updates. And Rhino16, tplbge, and I are history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost the same way I did in 17/18 - I would've won that year had it been just BWI, DCA and IAD, but I went way too low for RIC. I learned my lesson after that: RIC > DCA in this new climate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
