I've always found that going broad brush conservative with totals 48 hours out is generally best 75% of the time. Hopefully I'm wrong this time.

I don't have time to do an overall tally, but just did the individual city winners (or closest too). Perfect guesses at CMH, FWA, and IND. BuffaloWeather had the most correct individual closest guesses, but was technically past the entry deadline by 6.5 hours :lol: ...alas, I'm easy and we won't penalize him. Congrats go to him. 

 

January 31-February 2 actual snowfall totals (winners)

 

Chicago IL (ORD) 19.3" (BuffaloWeather with a guess of 16.1")

Cleveland OH (CLE) 8.1" (BadgerStateWX, BuffaloWeather, and Trent with guesses of 8.2")

Columbus OH (CMH) 1.5" (Chicago WX with a guess of 1.5")

Detroit MI (DTW) 16.7" (BuffaloWeather with a guess of 17.3")

Fort Wayne IN (FWA) 9.8" (Baum and dmc76 with guesses of 9.8")

Grand Rapids MI (GRR) 9.1" (Whitelakeroy with a guess of 9.0")

Indianapolis IN (IND) 2.2" (BuffaloWeather with a guess of 2.2")

Milwaukee WI (MKE) 12.0" (BuffaloWeather with a guess of 12.6")

Moline IL (MLI) 14.4" (KokomoWX with a guess of 13.6")

Peoria IL (PIA) 6.4" (BuffaloWeather with a guess of 5.1")

 

Bonus question: total snowfall for LAF 4.7" (Whitelakeroy with a guess of 5.0")
