Snow Contest January 25th-26th

[Roger Smith]

People could post their thoughts on eventual NYC totals here, especially if you edited the thread title to include it. Those predictions I mentioned are in the main forum, contest thread, from the dozen or so people who enter temperature forecast contests over there. I don't remember what I predicted but it was probably in the high 20s. I guess we don't need much more to reach that. The ongoing cold spell probably argues for a likely additional 10-15 inches but some analogues may have stayed snow-free despite the cold spell in prime climo period. On the other hand, it was very cold in the second half of January, 1888 and not much snow fell in February but then came the Blizzard of 1888 (March 11-13).
