In this season’s contest, all four competitors are given the option to start Syracuse for one month as a bonus 5th starter. None of the four chose to start Syracuse in December. However, it is worth pointing out that Syracuse has 20.5 inches in the month so far. Time will tell if not using Syracuse this month will have hurt at least one of the competitors.
Steve has widened his lead, but now Brent has taken over second place. Pat is now third and Mike is still fourth. With 10 days to go in December, and 3 more months remaining for the entire contest, it is still anyone’s game. Just look at how last year’s competition unfolded: all big leads diminished quickly throughout the event. Perhaps the same thing will happen this year.
The next update will show the final December results as well as the starters for January. Stay tuned!
