Congrats to winners, this would probably not change the results but several stations have old pre-correction values in the results table, CAR should be 2.0, BGR should be 3.7, IAD should be 4.0 and BGM should be 1.8. -- I think this would mostly just improve everyone's scores slightly.

Thanks TQ! Pretty solid forecast grouping near the top for this one, which was pretty well behaved other than a couple SNE stations that overachieved.

Standby for Contest #2 if today's 12z NWP are starting to sniff out a big one. #HeWhoShallNotBeNamed should be foaming soon...
