Cold Rain Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'm willing to give Amos the benefit of the doubt that he mean 4.5" for ORF instead of 45". Can we stipulate that (unless he corrects me and says that was his real guess)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 An interesting tidbit on Danville- The 8.8" snow total for January 17, 2018 is the highest one day snowfall in the @cityofDanville in 22 years! The total ranks as the tenth highest daily amount in Danville since record keeping began in 1948. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My strategy was to have the highest total projected for rdu. Unfortunately, I overshot and didn't pay as much attention to other locations (although my projection matched what I ended up with 10 miles away in NW Cary). Congrats to all those who underperformed.
