Kmlwx Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 you need an actual number not a range But he's Randy. So does he get an exemption? ie (Dec 1-March 1) 1-90 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Dec. 3, 2.7" Edit for date(s). Starting on 12/2, extending into 12/3, 2.7". I guess I've covered all bases now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ends up being 2.7 inches but from 12/3 to 12/4 do you still win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Wait...so how does this work? If it ends up being 2.7 inches but from 12/3 to 12/4 do you still win? Well, I don't know. I read a post earlier, by Ian I think, that was talking about when the snow starts, when it ends. My guess is saying that the "event" produces 2.7", starts in the evening of 12/2 and ends in the morning of 12/3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr No Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 There's a chance the first inch is going to be realized next weekend... well, maybe not a DCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is saying that the "event" produces 2.7", starts in the evening of 12/2 and ends in the morning of 12/3. No I think he just meant that the amount that everyone put down can be event total. I don't think we have to specify the time period that amount falls in. By saying 12/2 it automatically means that's when the first snow falls regardless of what the total is. The amount is only for tie-breaker purposes and is storm total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 I updated the initial post to try to explain. In short, Kenny is right. If you choose 12/2 and 3" of snow and there is a storm that goes from Dec 2-3 and drops 1.5 total with 1" on the 2nd, you are correct on the date and .5 off total. If the storm hit 12/1-2 and dropped 6" (with at least 1" coming on the first) you got the date wrong by 1 and the total wrong by 3. I hope it's not too confusing that we have to start over.

I think we should be fine. Just a few bumps here and there. And BTW - Ian...I AM in a battle with you on your post count in case you didn't notice. On Eastern I was too far behind you.

And BTW - Ian...I AM in a battle with you on your post count in case you didn't notice. On Eastern I was too far behind you. It doesnt even really change anything from a picking perspective IMO, but I don't want to run into the issue if we have a two day event or a 11pm to 2am event... I'm pretty sure you'll lose that battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Did I miss it, but don't we need a cutoff date on this contest? If it's open ended, there might be a bunch of winners if they wait until it's almost a sure bet that snow will fall before they actually predict it.
