Ian Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I don't see why you'd scale higher on bonus further out as it becomes more of a guess IMO. Also, it might be heat wave #5 part II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it might be heat wave #5 part II ok, just 1 point bonuses for days 3 and 4 for correct calls? If you want, we just wont have any bonuses, but I saw it discussed back in that contest i won.

Ellinwood Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Tropical system develops off Florida in few days, moves north and thwarts extreme heat. It's gonna be like 1981, only a little bit cooler than a +1.0 July and a -0.4 August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 anyone gonna actually put up some numbers? lol I think people, pardon the pun, are a little burnt out after last weekend's heat. That, and the contest starts on Wed, which at least has the chance of being the coolest day in this couple week stretch. The other issue is that 4 days times three sites is a lot of numbers. I was stretching it with 3x3, but since we were looking at historic heat, people were excited. I think the heat excitement is gone. Perhaps a simpler contest, like the peak temps at each location over this timeframe, would be appropriate. You'd need a good tiebreaker for that, but I'm sure you could come up with something good. Alternatively, just drop Wednesday and go from there. Your call, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 2 numbers for each airport, top temps and lowest lows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
