Here is the final scoring for April as well as the current standings Jan-Apr. Bolded are the scores with the highest total for each region, some great scores for this month and a great first month for GaWx. We had some changes in standings for Jan-Apr with Chuck taking a solid uptick even after missing out a month with Donsutherland taking a more commanding lead.

Keep up the great work folks!

We had quite a bit of moving that took place from last month to this. The contest is still very close so continue to do your best. Here are the annual totals up to the end of May scoring for May can be seen on the previous page.

DonS maintains a big lead. Is my total cumulative with Feb included? If so, my average of months played is giving him a run.

February was the only month you had missed. So yes you certainly are giving him a run for only having 4 of the 5 months so far.

Finally got a chance to finish the 2025-26 snowfall forecasts. In the orange are the actual season totals, in blue are totals that were forecasted under the actual snowfall that occurred. Everything in white is a forecast that was above actual totals. Red indicates the winner. Error points were done that every 0.1" away from the total was 0.1 of a point. For instance Boston was 62.8" this year, if you had a forecast of 40" that would be 22.8 error points or if you forecasted 80" your error points would be 17.2. NYC and Boston surprised folks the most this year which granted large error points.

We will set this up again around November forecast timeframe. I will add Consensus and average for this as well going into the next forecast time (Average will be based on 1991-2020)

I'll update for the June forecast later waiting to see if we have dmillz25 join for the month but so far myself and RJAY will have 1 % deduction for a late forecast.

@Stormchaserchuck1 @RodneyS @bkviking @dmillz25 If you would like to participate in the Max temp forecast for the same monthly cities throw a forecast up before Friday 6/5 at 6z. Anyone else who has made a forecast is free to change it up until that time.
