IMO, Memphis has the best chance for a huge overperformance so it makes sense to hedge bets there. No other city really has as large of a range of an overperformance and since only one person can win, may as well just go big on Memphis so if it does overperform, I put myself in a better position to win it all. If it busts low, I wasn't likely going to win anyways. If I had to actually bet real money, different story.

This isn't the price is right, but I did think about doing the same thing Lol

The Mississippi River and Memphis heat island? Well, we're heading into night and there's plenty of snow on the way; I'll enjoy seeing what happens more than if I had bid lower, so no regrets.

Superstorm ‘93 on the way, then? Actually screw that, that storm sucked here.

Luckily we didn’t have to forecast for hot springs Arkansas. Did not see that area getting up to 14”.

 

[griteater]

Working on the spreadsheet. Need to track down some official numbers. Let me know if you have any.

I'd like to edit my numbers right quick if thats ok

My forecast for Raleigh includes January 11th. I do believe they add to their snow total when the warm nose collapses.

Yeah it will be total storm....so, don't have the final numbers for all cities as of now

 

[griteater]

Who won

Gotta wait til the bitter end with this storm

 

[superjames1992]

I forgot to put in a forecast, but I definitely wouldn’t have won with the way this one has gone down LOL.

I had to look at a map to see where those first few towns were even at. Next time let’s do Columbia, SC, Atlanta, GA and Charlotte, NC they are a lot easier to do. If you really want a wild card throw in something like Elizabeth City, NC.

The Board of Directors will take in this feedback for future consideration

C’mon Bird, you don’t know Memphis?

 

[Triplephase93]

I would also like to suggest Chattanooga to enter future contest. Lots of posters in our vicinity and a tough area to pick

I tried to get each state represented. Would have liked to include Chattanooga, but already had close sites in Huntsville and Gainesville, and Memphis was a good option because of potential for a larger number

Makes sense. I’m appreciative of the contest and your donation to it.

The map has a slider that lets you get amounts in 12-hour increments. So far, in the last 24 hours

Raleigh, NC, .5"



Memphis, TN, 6.8" Downtown




Huntsville, AL, that's a 4.5 in the center of town




Gainesville, GA. Only surrounding areas given on map. Zooming in doesn't help.






Asheville, NC. Looks like .5 is closest.

KAVL- 1.8
GSP- .7
Memphis airport -7.5
Huntsville - 4.3
RDU-.7

Link below by clicking on "climate" for KAVL, GSP just to show the source. The others are also official NWS reports. Gainesville is not reporting. RDU is prior to midnight, so I don't know if more fell since then.

The above is to show I have a relevant location.

The relevant hourly readings so far (not freezing rain).






At least .1 snow. UPDATE Liquid possibly converting to 1-1.5" snow and sleet.

[rburrel2]

Would be neat to make a leaderboard and find out who finished in last place

 

[Belle Lechat]

Memphis, TN (MEM): 5.8”
Huntsville, AL (HSV): 3.7”
Gainesville, GA (GVL): 1.8”
Greenville, SC (GSP): 2.7”
Asheville, NC (AVL): 3.6”
Raleigh, NC (RDU): 1.1”

Using for now @ncjoaquin 's numbers, below, and .1 for Gainesville, GA, I did the math on the last 6 who posted and @mcv1998 's differential total of 8.2 was the best by .9.

Memphis airport -7.5
Huntsville - 4.3
Gainesville - .1
GSP- .7
KAVL- 1.8
RDU-.7

I look forward to seeing the final snow amounts.

UPDATE

The .1 for Gainesville is liquid amount, and sleet may be added to it, so 1-1.5" is ballpark. Using 1.5", mcv1988's differential total becomes 6.8.

not really like I say most of us didn’t even know there those first 3 towns were when I found out they were not in the Carolinas my heart was thumping cause last minute I had to figure out who they were and didn’t have time to do a sounding

I think most of us know where they are. Those aren’t exactly small towns

 

[rburrel2]

Gainesville only got .1? That can’t be right.

 

[rburrel2]

I could be wrong, but I assume they were planning on taking the final totals from the airport observation sites since they included the airport codes in the contest.
