Mike, edit your one predictions because I am only going to count what happens after November 10th. Most people would probably choose this weekend as one of the dates, haha

Edited. To be fair, maybe the others should edit theirs as well.

Oh geez, I think people went back and edited haha. I'll send private messages to the people who put in a prediction before Nov. 10th

                                                                                   
                                                                                       

Just keep in mind when you do this do not predict anything before November 10th.

Considering the 30 year average in NYC is 25.9 inches and the 140 year average is 28.5 inches, every single person is predicting an average or well above average snowfall so far.

That worries me.
