Entry into the snowfall prediction contest is now officially closed. There are tweve predictions, ranging from 41.8 inches, to 80 inches. A variety of guessing strategies were employed, including two entrants who used the approximate average annual snowfall as their prediction, but oddly enough came up with different numbers, 41.8 inches and 42 inches. The highest total was the first entry of 80 inches and there was a prediction of 51.5 inches from a reader in Alaska, where they presumably know something about snow.
Good luck everyone, and thanks for entering!
