Fantasy Snowfall League 2014 week 12 results.

We've finished our second season of our Fantasy Snowfall League. You can see the results for each of our cities in the 2014 Fantasy Snowfall League in the table at left, to help tabulate how your team did.

What is Fantasy Snowfall, you ask? Here's how we conducted our league.

Winter Weather Expert and League Commissioner, Tom Niziol (Facebook | Twitter), chose cities from the Northwest to New England, with average annual snowfall ranging from over 10 feet to just over 44 inches.

Here at The Weather Channel, each of four teams drafted a roster of six cities. Each team submitted a lineup of four cities they believe will get the most snowfall during the upcoming week. The other two cities on the team's roster were benched for that week.

At the end of the completed week (early Friday morning), we tabulated snowfall totals for each team's starting lineup. The highest cumulative score at the end of March won the league.

In 2014, two teams of students from Warwick Middle School in Warwick, N.Y. and Bozeman Middle School in Bozeman, Mont. joined our league to take on The Weather Channel team ofMikeBettesandMariaLaRosa,as well as the weather.com "Digital Dendrites" (Jonathan Erdman, Chris Dolce, Nick Wiltgen).

Here were the overall season standings in The Weather Channel league in 2014:

- Warwick M.S.: 329.3 inches

- The Weather Channel: 282.8 inches

- Bozeman M.S.: 272.7 inches

- weather.com: 223 inches

Clearly, Warwick's experience from last year helped them to a championship in 2014. A solid performance was also put in by Bozeman Middle School.

As you can see in the snowfall spreadsheet linked above, the five snowiest cities from January - March in our league were:

Buffalo, N.Y. (90.2 inches)Syracuse, N.Y. (88.3 inches)Caribou, Maine (86.6 inches)Grand Rapids, Mich. (77.3 inches)Rochester, N.Y. (76.3 inches)

We would like to give a well-deserved shout out to Candice Boling from the University of North Carolina - Asheville, for the considerable effort compiling the weekly snowfall stats for each city and season standings for our league.
