First possible accumulating snow

The snow contest board is up in the teacher workroom, and I feel good about my predictions this year.  We try to predict the first accumulating snow (>T), first snow day, and total amount for the season.  Here are this year's predictions:

First Accumulating:  Dec. 3
First Snow Day:  Dec. 9
Total Snow:  28.5"

It's funny to see how last year's 54" of snow affected everyone's predictions for this year.  There are a lot of guesses in the 30s and 40s!  That's an Oshkosh winter.

NBC Action News Weather Blog is showing a chance for snow this Saturday (the 3rd!), which could be the first for many in Missouri.  I'm getting excited and am ready for the season to start.
