How many inches of snow will fall on the summit of Mt Washington in January 2008? The official scorekeeper is the monthly F6 report posted at http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/f6/

[Patrad Fischroy]

I will stick with my December guess. 71"

[Steve M]

Well, the Farmer's Almanac never lies, so...I'm going with 63.5"

[PatriciaS]

Wonder if I can repeat my December performance?? I am going to go with 56.6 for January.

[EricJ]

I'll go with 31.5, Taking in account that the astrological gibberish coincides with the planetary perpendicularity of Nostradamus' long range BS combined with the meteorology of Dr. Gray's anatomy.

[donnellyvj]

Im thinking of a number between 1 and 100. Its 47.8!!!

[Steve M]

Were up to 10.1 as of today...and were running out of time.:D

[spyboy]

Lots of rain coming this week, at least in Southern NH, not sure how that will be up top on the rockpile, but I'm sure it will be warm(er)

Now I'm thinking my guess was a tad too high :(

[spyboy]

ugh rain and fog.

Did I say 73.5, I really meant 7.35 :)

The summit is looking rocky again. Or as I used to call it when teaching at Camden Snow Bowl..."low tide" (when the rocks would peek through the melting snow)

Quick, someone do a snow dance or something!:eek:

[Magpie]

Seems dry so I'll sat 38.9
End of the month and first weeks of Feb in my memory are big snow weeks
:)

16.2 inches of snow so far this month on the summit. JimS is in the lead with no one even close!

[spyboy]

If I guess low for Feb we'll get hammered! I guessed big for January and it'd been pretty low so far (unless it starts snowing nonstop for the new few days)

[JimS]

17.5 for the month now...with only two more shots before the end of the month...meager!

[Brad]

16.2 inches of snow so far this month on the summit. JimS is in the lead with no one even close!
18.4 inches so far. We are running out of time! We have to get to 30.2 inches for EricJ to win. Or else JimJ wins without even being close.

[Brad]

20.5 inches - we are running out of time.

[Steve M]

we need a really huge snowstorm.

[EricJ]

we need a really huge snowstorm.

10" would be huge enough.

[njgail11]

I will guess 34.7

[JimS]

I will guess 34.7

Hi NJgail...
Despite the fact that the deadline has passed...I see no reason not to let you in with this guess.

Typically though, contests close on the 4th of the month...

Please play again!

[Brad]

Please play again!
It sure looks like you will be the winner for January. Can he do two in a row? Stay tuned because we are running out of time.

[Bill O]

Not to mention, they typically close before the outcome is decided. Can I toss in my guess? I'm going for one tenth less than whatever Jim put down.

[Brad]

21.5 inches so far for January! Last day to make snow. Does it have to be natural or can it be man-made? We are about out of time.

[Steve M]

Yes, we are out of time, and most of us have egg on our face!:o

[JimS]

21.5 it is! Now I have to look in my magic crystal ball for February!

[Brad]

We have to officially declare JimS the winner for January. The fact that he has inside information by being a recent observer (I assume the less recent ones here are just rusty) does not have much bearing on the outcome.

We will see what success he has in February.
