Absolute Vorticity

Well, Grandpa Woolly has been thinking about this whilst moving around the woodpile. The ol hickory didn't bear many nuts this year was the first sign I considered. The squirrels have been somewhat busy and the deer movement has been nil till after the Hunter's moon. Mrs. Woolly has put up a bumper crop of pears this year. So, my doodads and sticks are sayin we should get a snow that qualifies on:
December 11
Annual amount of 24.125"

Thanks to all for entering! The thread will be locked at this time for posting until I get the spreadsheet posted later today. I will unlock the thread at that time. Thanks all!

Here is the officially contest entry spreadsheet for the contest. The thread is now unlocked for posting once again. Good luck to all!!!

Anybody have any data on what the latest measurable snowfall has been for Cincy, Dayton and Columbus? Grandma Wooly can't find our records here at the woodpile.

Check this out... 82-83 was a Super El Nino as was 2015-2016. Not sure about 1940-1941, but it would not surprise me.

I graduated high school in 1982 and my Dad and Pete Rose were born just 1 month apart in 1941.

Columbus and Dayton are both in the books with a tenth of an inch, .01 inches, of snow for the year. This Monday looks to be a decent shot for Cincy to get on the board.

No one guessed FMS 12/18.

If it does accumulate at CVG on the 18th Bgoney would win as he guessed 12/22.

CVG is on the board for the season with 0.8" as of the 5pm climate report. Congrats to you Bgoney as you were the closest poster for first measurable!

Venmo the prize money. WSJ or Tim can take round two

Tim taking Round 2 will absolutely work for me! Or maybe Joe... let's swing for the fences!

Congrats Bgoney!

CVG recorded 0.1" of snow on 12/29 for a seasonal total now of 0.9" I must have been asleep. I sure didn't see it.

CVG recorded a trace for 1/12/24 so we are still at 0.9" on the season. We should tack on a few tenths though over the next several days I would imagine.

0.1" so far at CVG today as of the 5pm climate report so that puts us exactly at 1" on the season.

CVG picked up another 0.1" today so we are up to 1.1" now on the season. We are down 7.1" on the season.

CVG picked up another 0.1" today as of the 5pm climate report to bring our seasonal total up to 1.2" We are now 7.5" below normal to date.

3.8" at CVG today for a seasonal total now up to 5.2". We are now 4.3" below normal at this point in the season.

CVG tacked on 0.3" today with a seasonal total of 5.5" We are still 4.3" down on the season.

Imby I’m at 4” total.
