We asked you to predict the snowfall totals from this last storm and you took your best guess.

Thank you to everyone who participated! Predictions varied wildly from a dusting to two feet, but there could only be one winner.

At 9 a.m. this morning, we took a measurement at an undisclosed, but predetermined, location in the town of Portsmouth. The area was cleared of all previous snow.

The total snowfall measured was 5 inches!

Congratulations go to John McDaid for guessing the correct amount. McDaid will receive a $20 gift card from Dunkin' Donuts.

In all contests, winners should e-mail Editor Sandy McGee at Sandy@Patch.com to claim their prize.
