Making a very modest adjustment upward since I think we get off to a relatively hot start for December

We have 75 entrants for this season's contest. That equals the number from two seasons ago and exceeds the 69 entrants that we had last season. Of those 69, 55 returned this season and 14 dropped out, with 20 additional entrants joining.

 

The average number of inches of snow forecast (with median forecasts in parentheses) for the four contest airports are as follows:

 

BWI: 18.2 (19.2)
DCA: 13.4 (13.9)

IAD: 20.2 (20.8)

RIC: 9.6 (8.8) 

Total: 61.4 (63.0)

 

The average number of inches of snow forecast (median forecasts) for the two tiebreaker airports are as follows, with eight entrants selecting LYH and 67 entrants selecting SBA:

 

LYH: 9.8 (11.1)  

SBA:10.1 (9.4)

 

Below is the summary table, with 2022-23 champion  @LittleVillageWx at the low end with a 4-airport forecast of 6.6 inches, and perennial snow optimist @George BM at the high end with a 4-airport forecast of 167.6 inches.

Good lord. I must have hit a double gummy when I tossed my guesses in a few weeks back...

[Roger Smith]

Both me and Jebman are within shouting distance of the middle of the table.

I just discovered an NWS website for real-time snow reports nationwide: https://www.weather.gov/source/crh/snowmap.html

According to that website, DCA and IAD are currently reporting 1.1 inches each, and RIC is reporting 2.0 inches.

The above numbers have been finalized with no change, and to them is added 0.8 inches at BWI. 

The below table reflects no changes to the leaderboard, but does show negative departures at both DCA and RIC for current leader @LittleVillageWx and a negative departure at RIC for current runner-up @JenkinsJinkies
