That's correct ^ ^ ^ in my estimation, I was going to post those with the comment that today (10th) is coming in around +5 by end of day for BOS and NYC and possibly zero for DCA, due to falling temps this evening (DCA for today on +2 = +3 at present), so the monthly values posted will probably change slightly to about -0.6, +1.1 and +2.7 after today.

If Mallow reads this, will we continue with the "old" normals in December and change in January, or will we change in December? I would vote change in December because it's the new winter season.

To me it doesn't matter, but shouldn't we keep the old normals until January since that would be the 12 month forecast and then switch in January for the new contest period. Side note, the month still looks torchy and doesn't look to end.

I fear for my lead.

DCA is the key.. I need it to finish very near or above my +.2. Winning 2/3 cities isn't going to cut it especially if NYC and BOS are 2-3F warmer than I guessed and most of the points are in that first standard deviation.

Right now DCA is -1.1 for the month (1971-2000). Through wednesday they should be at near +1.2 and then it gets cool again. Maybe back down almost to 0 to -1 through Saturday before the next warm shot on the models. Through the ~24th or so we might be looking at around +1 at DCA and then it will hinge on the last week.

predicted based on NWS through the 26th

BOS: +3.3

NYC: +3.3

DCA: +2.0

I think Boston's forecast looks a little too cold IMO so I wouldn't be surprised if they were more like upper 3s. Then the last 4 days of the month look warm, especially in Boston. So I'd expect the end of the month to look something like

BOS: +4

NYC: +3.5

DCA: +2
