December snow contest

[BAXTERCA2]

Nope - I confused you. I looked at the 16th column and not the 16th column of data. The first column is the day of the month.

In any case the title of that column says it is the amount of sky covered in tenths. So, the numbers can go from 0 to 10. The note underneath that you pasted does not seem to go with that column at all.

And yet it's on the report so, it must mean something to someone.

No snow yesterday - but I beautiful day on the summit. So, we have 3 more days...

[Snow Miser]

All we need is 7.2" more, and that should do it for the year!

[Brad]

We are sitting with 42.4 inches of snow for December and one more day to go. The summit looks like it is in the clouds. Is it snow? What will today bring us?

[Brad]

The summit is reporting freezing fog - not a good sign as we move through the last day.

[Brad]

We got 42.4 inches of snow in December. So, the winner is...

Congratulations Rich! You were only a tenth of an inch off.

[mtruman]

Drat! Foiled by 4 tenths of an inch. I demand a recount. Get those precip cans back out!

Congrats Rich - you nailed it!

Actually, not exactly. If it were 42.2 inches you would have won. At 42.3 inches he would have won. So, you lost by 2 tenths of an inch.
