wxdude64 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I require no extension as I am posting from August 2016. I just fudge the numbers a bit to make them look like guesses. So you have a DeLorean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#BUSYBULLET Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Sorry for the late response. I have not been following for along time. I used AW in the past for educational purposes and some of the members are truly amazing with their knowledge of meteorology. December 5 deadline sounds great but my vote wouldn't count anyways.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 DCA: 19" IAD: 28" BWI: 26" RIC: 15" Tiebreaker: 12" I feel weird asking a pro met this but... you didn't confuse liquid precip with snow for the tiebreaker, right? Cause 12" of total precip for BWI in February would be mind-blowing- almost double the record (7.16" in 1979). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Alright, we're ready to go. 63 entries! Everyone who posted a forecast up until now is in. Any new calls will be ignored completely lol I guess I'll give ohleary a few days to get back to me regarding the tiebreaker- if not, he gets put down for 12.00" liquid precip. I'll be back after our first accumulating snow with an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Doubtful anyone smokes you. But while it's unlikely RIC beats out DCA in any year, it's most probable during a strong El Nino, IMO. People overlook the potential 1972-73 had. VA was not that far north of an area that received incredible amounts of snowfall. Had the February storm tracked, say 300 miles farther north, that season would be remembered differently and probably change people's perceptions about super nino years. 1997-98 appears to be the only season that did not feature a blockbuster snowstorm on the east coast. So, I will take my chances and go high given that 2 out of 3 cases delivered huge snows in the east. Also, Norfolk received 9.1" from a single snowstorm in January 1973, yet another indicator of the potential that season had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 These are the totals I have so far: DCA: 18.8 (pending controversy) IAD: 29.8 BWI: 30.0 RIC: 12.1 Current leaderboard: weatherCCB: (4.8) midatlanticweather (4.9) Highstakes: (6.2) wxdude64: (6.4) SNO: (7.4) Numbers above are combined absolute value departure.

mattie g Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 All the "three years of climo-plus is nearly impossible" arguments were bunk. Each season is individual, and if the most influential indices hint at a chance of a greater than normal snowfall season, then it only makes sense to go with that.
