Here's the game: How much snow will there be at the stake on top of Mt. Washington, and at Pinkham Notch tommorow?

The data shall be from the "Current Depth" column in the table found here:
http://www.mountwashington.org/backcountry/index.php

Looks like it's posted in the morning, it's posted every day, and it is archived so we can look back if we forget to check.

So, make your guess like this:


M@ -
Mt. Washington: 15"
Pinkham Notch: 17"
As usual, I've tried to make this as SIMPLE and CLEAR as possible, leaving no room for discussion. So make your guesses if you want to play.

Gotta go low, looks like the high pressure in Canada is gonna keep the snow south... :mad:

Summit 7"
Pinkham 10"

The Roemer report says Elwood is wrong and that Bush/Stow/MRG could see as much as a foot.

LOL too funny to see that : 0" at the top of MT Wash, but 36+" at 8h07 at Wildcat this morning and still falling like crazy !

Considering that a lot of the snow that don't fall on the top will do it in the ravine, I'm eager to see the Tucks cam after the White Out !!!

Congrats to have chosen to live in New England ! (lol... we just got 3" here, but at least it's something like 2' in the townships !)

Today:
Top: 2"
Pink: 27"

I (as contest starter) declare CloggyNumbers (clg898) as the winner.

here's the really good new about these numbers: the 2 on top means that 25 inches of snow blew into tuckerman! Can't wait to see the webcam when it clears up there.

Can I say, "Woot?"

Who ever did that snow dance deserves a few beers...10" on the summit and 47" inches at Pinkham Notch!

Avvy danger will be horrific higher up....but the Sherborne will be magnificent :happydog:

Sherburne will be magnificent. Tempting, but I don't have shoes right now... Don't think I'll make it this weekend.
