Lots to discuss this time, so let’s just get to it! As always, the sleepers are in italics. Stephen used the 2 sleeper option this month, so he has 6 starters for February.

It was a snow filled month for a lot of cities! Worcester dominated the way with almost 4 feet of snow in February. However, it was not enough for Pat as the bench totals ended up making the difference. 3 of the 20 cities did not reach double digit snowfall, and Pat had all of them. In addition, Steve’s use of the 2 sleepers option worked out well: starting South Bend for February resulted in a gain of 13.35 inches.
We add the January and February results together to find the overall standings so far:
| GSG Fantasy Snowfall 2013 Standings | |||||
| Teams | January | February | March | April | Total |
| Pat | 80.25 | 165.90 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 246.15 |
| Steve | 84.55 | 174.30 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 258.85 |
And Stephen leads by 12.70 at halftime. Now on to the starters for March.
Pat:
Buffalo, NY
Erie, PA
Fort Collins, CO
St. Paul, MN
Syracuse, NY
Pat has some catching up to do, but he might have the line up to do it. This also sets three roster spots for April: Green Bay and the two sleepers Newark and Pueblo. With 2 sleepers starting in April, he’ll have 6 starters, like how Steve did for February. Pat will also have to bench Buffalo, Erie and Syracuse.
Steve:
Anchorage, AK
Cleveland, OH
Madison, WI
Minneapolis, MN
Rochester, NY
In an effort to build the lead, Steve is going with the northern cities for March. Steve is now forced to start Denver, Des Moines and sleeper Boston for April. In addition, Anchorage and Rochester must be benched.
Can Pat make the comeback? Will any city outdo Worcester’s 44.4 showing?
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
