Lots of stats here/below altho it may not include specific answers to your question. http://www.newx-forecasts.com A fun contest to forecast against yourself and others. If anyone recalls the “Joseph Bartlo days” on the 1990’s ne.weather Usenet bulletin boards, this is where some of us landed.

I know that the Capital Weather Gang had one of their better snow forecasts for 2009-10, but I'm not sure anyone foresaw the record amount of snow that season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Well I had a look (I participate in those contests) and apparently herb @ maws won the 2009-10 contest, the website does not preserve details but given 15-20 were usually in these contests, herb probably forecast close to what happened. I managed to win 2010-2011 and 2011-12 which surprised me since 2011-12 was probably a very snow-deficient winter but I do vaguely recall predicting a mild winter on Eastern wx before we got going here. I was going to plug the ne-wx site and will do it now, follow that link above and check it out. Don Sutherland (NYC) routinely does very well in storm forecasts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Last call for two snowfall contests (deadlines for both are end of Sunday 10th): (1) On our site, in general interest forum, you can enter a nine-location snowfall contest in the Dec 2023 contest thread. (2) At link below, you can enter 25th annual northeast US snowfall contest for 25 locations in the eastern US, as well as storm forecast contests announced on site when available... http://newxsfc.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Seventeen people believed there would be more snow than I did -- in itself, some kind of new record. Usually it's closer to four or five maybe. I would probably take a few lower now just because we're still at zero and I thought Dec could produce a few inches, but otherwise, the pattern looks to be evolving in a good direction. Anyway, we are stuck with the original guesses, so over-performers are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We indeed have a new leader -- previous Mid-Atlantic snow contest operator @PrinceFrederickWx. So far, the reports for this storm are as follows: BWI 4.9 inches DCA 4.1 inches IAD 4.4 inches RIC 0.5 inches There still may be updates to these figures, but the table below shows the current standings. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your two closest competitors can't catch you, and so if we get no more than an inch at each of the airports on Friday, you will remain in the lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
