I'm not the one who needs DCA to outsnow IAD  

But yeah, you're in an exceptional spot for one more small event. I was lucky with this sytem basically clipping Richmond, but my one time was used on this event. I'm drawing dead to just a few outs.

You all seem to be ignoring @olafminesaw creeping up 

Eta: wait... I’m not even sure he can still win? @RodneyS can I get a ruling on this?

Yes. Olaf is very much in the running.  If he were to nail the three Baltimore-Washington airports with no more snow falling at RIC, his total departure would be only 1.6, which would definitely win it. Generally, if you are close to the lead with at least three (ideally four) positive departures, you're in the hunt.

Lurking.

[PrinceFrederickWx]

Added 0.1" to DCA

Btw if anyone has any suggestions to further improve the layout of the spreadsheet, feel free to let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

Well that could be tough, considering you're not even a contestant, but I'll see what I can do.

 

 

[WxUSAF]

Think I'm 2nd place now...

[PrinceFrederickWx]

@WxUSAF nope, @Cobalt has you by 0.1".

[PrinceFrederickWx]

@olafminesaw is gonna thread the needle on this, I can see it.

Really need it not to snow again. That or I need DCA to get some strange river-effect snow.

[WxUSAF]

I demand a recount!  And I need RIC to find some more snow.  @RIC Airport, need you to make that happen.

This does not affect the top of the leaderboard, but the 0.1 inch that DCA received on February 19th has been taken away. As far as I know, that 0.1 still stands, and so the official DCA total should be 5.4.   Aside from that, the big change on the board is that Cobalt has eliminated H2O.  H2O could still finish second, but he cannot pick up on Cobalt.

Just need DCA to be the jackpot on a March snowstorm. How hard could it be?

[PrinceFrederickWx]

LWX made small adjustments to BWI, DCA and IAD in the latest CLI report:

[North Balti Zen]

I went from 7th to 9th. Just how small were those adjustments?

BWI added 0.2"

DCA added 0.1"

IAD lost 0.2"

It's a very close contest. 

[PrinceFrederickWx]

At some point LWX adjusted BWI up by 0.3" and IAD up by 0.2" Doesn't change the leader, but here's the updated results. 

This contest looked like it was going to be an exciting finish, but the finale has really fizzled out. A lot of you just don't know how to close the deal when in the red zone. 

Let's get our act together for some early April snow!

I’m okay with the results! No more snow is needed.

I can assure you that contest integrity is our highest priority- I am sending @RodneyS to hand recount every flake that has fallen at DCA. 

[H2O]

Top 5 aint bad.  I kicked most everyones ass.  Including mappy. 

[PrinceFrederickWx]

Just FYI- I always keep this  contest open until mid-April, so no breaking out the champagne yet. Obviously it's looking very good for @NorthArlington101 though.

My designated snow counters -- Vladimir Putin and Nicolas Maduro -- have informed me that a totally objective hand count reveals that the true amount that fell at DCA was 4.4 inches.  By an amazing coincidence, that's exactly what I forecast!  I have instructed Vlad and Nick to now do a similar hand count at the other three airports . . . I do note, however, that should my effort to steal win the contest fall short, NorthArlington101 has to watch his back at IAD.  Should an additional 1.5 inches fall there, Cobalt would eliminate him.
