1) Correctly predict the day of the
first 1-inch snowfall in Albany.*
The time frame for
verifiable 1.0+ snowstorms is 10 November 2008 through 1 May 2009. Only snowfall events after 10 November will
count for this contest. In the event that
the first one-inch snowfall occurs over two consecutive days, the day during
which the storm total reaches 1.0 will be the day of verification. Several people may predict the same day. To serve as a tiebreaker, each person must
include a prediction for the storm total of the first 1.0+ storm down to the
tenths of an inch (i.e., 5.8). If two
or more persons are tied for the closest prediction of the day, the person with
the closest prediction of the storm total is the winner. If the tie is still not resolved, the winner
will be the person with the best prediction in the second contest.
