My useless, wild guesses pulled from the nether regions!  Hopefully vastly underestimated!

BWI:  3.0"

DCA:  -2.5"

IAD:  2.2"

RIC:  1.5"

Tiebreaker...SBY:  4.4"

---------------------------------

And yeah, I put a NEGATIVE value for DCA, just for fun!  I was reminded of that old SNL skit years ago, called "Chicago Superfans" that had all these guys in a bar (including George Wendt, who was Norm on "Cheers"!) drinking beer and eating fatty chicken wings, saying "Da BEARS!!!" every 5 seconds.  It was funny!  At the end they would predict the score of the upcoming Bears' game (always a Bears' win, of course!).  One time, one of them said something like, "Bears 92, Lions -20!!" (or some negative score).  One of them asked, "How can they get a negative score, that's not possible!"  To which the other replied, "Hey, Ditka will find a way!!"  So...my feeling is, "Hey, DCA will find a way!!"

@Scarlet Pimpernel Does that mean that your actual DCA guess is zero?

Well, no, I actually don't think it's an absolute shutout at DCA or anywhere.  My "negative" snow amount guess was just for humor.

In all seriousness, I can see this winter being like last year in the end.  Nothing great, not even really close, but definitely not as awful as 2022-23 (when I literally got 0.5" on the season, that melted by 10AM the morning it fell!).  So...something like a couple of weeks that actually feel wintry, with maybe a couple of minor to moderate events.  Just a wild-ass thought and guess.

Okay, so I'll list your current guess for DCA as 2.5 inches.

Fair enough, that's fine.  I hope I am waaaay underestimating snow for everyone, of course, and would gladly be much too far on the low end.  Thanks!
