MN Transplant Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Contest closed, here are the entries (sorted from coldest to warmest). Double-check my data entry abilities. Consensus is DCA: 36 IAD: 30 BWI:32 RIC: 34 or exactly Riptide's forecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Got DC, but the winds didn't calm down as fast as I was expecting for the other stations so they kept their numbers up. Managed to get to 26-27 here in Gaithersburg where the winds DID go calm for an extended period. Some single digit dewpoints out there last night. Good job Rodney!

Deck Pic Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 This will probably be another instance where I get mocked on here and turn out to be correct. Just like my winter predictions vs yours LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 RodneyS wins! Stupid Richmond I instructed the Richmond airport manager to leave the outdoor heat lamps on this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 DCA killed me. I thought a slight NE breeze off the water would keep the temps up more than it did. Still...probably the best I've ever done in one of these contests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I got hurt at BWI... figured the water would help keep BWI a few degrees warmer and that the wind hadn't died down yet... oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was too easy a call (for me, at least) to go that high - I was even debating going a couple degrees warmer. I'm really surprised how it turned out.
