I'd have a solid guess by the time the GTG gets around. I've got at least 20 bones to throw in the pot.

Sounds good Nick...I'll wait for you to initiate the due date of predictions.

Howdy gentlemen!

I'm probably game for a GTG if I'm not traveling (which is sure to be less from now through the end of the year).


Still out of the plowing game, and I even sold off the Dodge this summer. I'd like to find another late 90's Chevy, but that'll just be a work/farm truck for hauling and winter transportation (assuming we'll have a winter).

That's no fun!

Are we looking at a GTG then? If so, we can just wait till then to make the predictions and make it official.

I'll hold on to the money.

Until then, chew on this

Sounds good on the prediction date!

I'll seriously hold on to the money though, because I might as well just take care of it as I'll win.

But, in the event I didn't, I could get everyone's address and mail the money to the winner in case we get lazy at the end of the season and not have another GTG.

And, we got to figure out something else also. We need to specify the location that will have the official record of an event. There was plenty of times in the past where it would snow in Peoria and not Bloomington, etc......

That or come up with a point system. X amount of points for a full push, and X amount for a partial, and X amount for salt only. Then you would just figure a total point value for the season and who ever was closest would win.

.....

I like to watch the price is right, that seems to work out more times than not. No problem on the wheels Mike, anytime. I'm down for a GTG lets pick a date.

I'm going with 30" total. Check out this link. I think were going to have a decent winter.

Good link Tom. And making the wager over "total inches for your area" would probably be the best route IMO.

I'm going with 34"

Rapidly approaching the middle of October... I think it's time to set up our GTG so we can get a good date for everyone....

How's the 27th for everyone? or would the 3rd or 10th of November work better?
