What’s always late and rarely great? Shot In The Dark Forecasts of course! Time to check out just how bad December’s outlook was and try to do better with January’s.
For December, I said the rankings would be flipped for a Bull’s Eye. If 3 were in the right spots, that would be On Target. Here’s how they were at the time of the forecast:
Albany
Binghamton
Syracuse
Rochester
Buffalo
So, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton, Albany is the order I’m looking for…here’s how it was at the end of December…
Binghamton 9.9
Syracuse 7.2
Albany 6.1
Rochester 5.2
Buffalo 3.8
I would have been better off saying the rankings would remain the same as none of the cities ended up in their predicted spot. I have a feeling it’s going to be that kind of season.

With that out of the way, time for the January outlook, and it may be the biggest “no duh!” one ever! Hey, at this point, I need as many points as I can get to make up for that dud of a forecast.
Bull’s Eye: All five cities have below average, or at least 1 is a foot or more below average, snowfall for January.
On Target: A majority of the cities have below average snowfall for January.
Complete Miss: Any other result.
Have a great January everyone!
The end of the week/weekend could get interesting. I’m hoping for a Complete Miss on this one big time Stephen 🙂
Yeah, I’ll try to get a PBR for the weekend by tomorrow or Thursday. At this point, might as well go with whatever I can get, right?
I had a nagging feeling about going with above average, which is why this one got delayed a bit. But in the end I decided I couldn’t go with that. So, we’ll see what works out: the gut feeling or the 2nd guessing. Haha.
