...11PM JANUARY 21, 2025 SNOWFALL REPORTS...

Note- These are storm total snowfall amounts so
please note the time they were taken. Snow amounts may
vary within a parish due to the wind. These reports are also
UNOFFICIAL unless specifically stated in the provider.
 
Just saw we're to use this site for Greenville, NC. Not sure what M stands for, but the picture above shows they got inches.
I don't know if sleet totals are included in snow.

Still don't see where it was officially reported, but apparently the KAGS final total was 1.7", just for what it's worth.

It's probably about right. I do think there was some of what the short range modeling was suggesting, just not as extreme. Waynesboro in Burke County probably had 3" and the southern parts of Richmond County were probably at 2.5"ish (friend about 15ish mins from me measured almost 3").
 
When it was time to pay the money out, I just vanished into thin air :)

Here are the site totals that I retrieved from each site except New Orleans Int'l Airport (MSY) - that one came from Twitter (as Belle Lechat posted above) because it wasn’t reported at the link below

Thank you guys for running this. Lots of fun! And congrats @jackendrickwx

And how in the name of Mike did Jimmy get a top 5? Somebody greased the skids here or something.

💀 Y’all will never hear the end of it. I was 👌🏽this close to going 7.5 in mobile too. Man. Hindsight and what not
 
Congratulations @jackendrickwx! I bet on climo and assumed MSP and Mobile wouldn’t perform as well as the models showed and that was a big whoops. PGV also didn’t do nearly as well as I figured. Can’t believe they didn’t outperform RDU, at least.
 
I should have never second guessed myself on New Orleans when I had them over seven inches. That and Mobile put a stake through my chances of doing better than I did. This has been fun and with sixty plus people participating in both contests and using a NCAA Tournament analogy, I would have made it to the Final Four in the first contest and the Sweet Sixteen in the second. I hope we can get one more contest worthy storm before the winter ends.

PGV is low at 1.5...had 4.5 at my house in Simpson 2 miles east of Greenville. Across the entire county no one reported less than 2" with lowest totals over the NW part of the county.

Yeah, it was discussed in the thread, but PGV doesn’t report (which was surprising, though after the fact, I recalled that being an issue in storms past). So, I stated that we would use the GREENVILLE co-op site (all caps) if they reported (and they did with 1.5), and I asked @WeatherNC if he could do a measurement as a backup if needed. Not only did he graciously take a measurement with photo (which was 2.0), but I believe he dropped the snowboard for the measurement close to the PGV airport. But, as I mentioned to him, I want to keep my word that we would use the co-op site if they reported
