A little more snow yesterday at BWI, DCA, and IAD, but none at RIC -- @psuhoffman is still on top, but now with negative departures at all four airports. So @87stormsis in good position to take the lead with just a tad more snow at BWI, DCA, or IAD, and plenty of contenders are lurking with positive departures at each of those airports.

Another 0.1 inch at DCA and 0.3 inches at IAD Thursday evening. No change to the top of the leaderboard, but minor changes further down, as we prepare for perhaps 1-3 inches more on Sunday.

Just as BWI was earlier upgraded to 1.8 inches for this storm and RIC was finalized at 3.0, IAD has now been upgraded to 2.6 inches, and so the 2024-25 seasonal total there is now 8.9. See below revised table, which does not change the leaderboard much:

Thanks. Perhaps the snow measuring crew at RIC is inexperienced, and is not following the guidelines set forth here, although snow measurement is as much of an art as it is a science: https://www.weather.gov/gsp/snow

Thanks. It looks a little odd for RIC to have received 3 inches of snow with only 0.20 inches of precipitation. That's a ratio of 15 to 1, whereas the previous night's listing was 1 inch of snow with 0.09 inches of precipitation -- a ratio of 11 to 1. Not that ratios can't vary that much during a storm, but the initial report today of only 2 inches of snow at RIC would translate into a ratio of 10 to 1. In any event, if the 3 inches holds, it won't change the top of the leaderboard much, with @psuhoffmanstill holding a clear lead.

Thanks -- here is a further update to reflect that change:

Thanks, I found that same storm total at https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=AKQ&issuedby=AKQ&product=PNS&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=on

I think I have found the amount for RIC, which is 3.0 inches. So, pending any further updates, it appears that @psuhoffmanhas taken the lead:

I have the following reported snowfall for the Friday-Saturday overnight storm: BWI: 0.5, DCA 0.7, IAD 1.8. Does anyone have the amount for RIC? Perhaps @RIC Airport?

I believe that 17 of our 69 entrants have now been eliminated from winning this season's contest.

Thanks. Not quite sure how the measuring gurus at RIC could have confused the revised 3.0 inches on Sunday and 0.5 inches on Monday with the originally reported 4.0 inches on Sunday and 2.0 inches on Monday, but life is full of mysteries. Here is the corrected summary table, which is excellent news for @StormyClearweather and @Mordecai, who were eliminated from contention under the originally-reported 6.0 inches at RIC, but are now the Top Two!

A larger than anticipated overnight snowfall has propelled psuhoffman into the lead. RickinBaltimore had a memorable reign, even if it lasted for only a few hours.

Big shake-up after today's numbers came in, with RickinBaltimore now the very tenuous leader -- tenuous because he has negative departures at each airport. Mordecai is in good position to take the lead if a little more snow is reported overnight, as his departures are all positive.

Thanks -- the below table further updates the current IAD total, which looks like will undergo a major update come Monday.

Today's brief squall added another 0.1 at Dulles.
