Oops! Good thing you readers are keeping us honest, we forgot to list half the participants! Many apologies to those that were left off the initial update (white rows in the table) and thanks for pointing out the error! Still only 6 possible winners, good luck! (Maybe tonight!!)
Way back at the end of October we asked for predictions for the first snowfall of the year. Last time we ran the contest we were skiing in the park within hours of the contest entry deadline. This time, no such luck. We had so hoped this would be a short contest!
Ok, so lets see what all the contestants predicted and who still has a chance at winning...

Only 4 people still in the running after today. Aren't we (almost) all optimistic!?
Last year we had over 100 entries, most predicting snow sometime mid Nov-early Dec. There were fewer contestants this year, probably due to the fact that we almost forgot to post the entry form (so there were only 4 days to put in a guess) and it was >20C that week!
