Toronto plumes gonna bust super high. A little worried about Moline as well.

[A-L-E-K]

they look high across the board...which happens every time we do this.

20-25% reduction and we're golden.

Ha we never learn do we?

[Stebo]

I say dump these contests, we have busted high on every single one since GHD Blizzard, at this point there is no point to them other than trolling.

Oh yeah it is thoroughly enjoyable to constantly be wrong, hell every time I have gone low I bust low.

I'm sure there's a kid down the street you can pay to mow your lawn.

[BowMeHunter]

at least you're not a met making constant bust for the public so big deal if ya do on here.  get over it and move on to the next lame event...  models suck this far out anyways and will almost always have surprises even right up until the start so we're bound to screw up a few backyards.

[Roger Smith]

Maybe with the pesky synoptic scale snow out of the way, the lake effect can kick into high gear and overperform.

[IWXwx]

No matter what Stebo thinks, I have fun with these. We're a board full of weenies, lighten up a little.

 

I'm really liking my comparatively conservative calls right now.

Entries, sorted by the weeniest of totals to least.

 

[cyclone77]

Nice chart.  I'm gonna bomb the Jan 2 LAF temp guess. 

 

EDIT:  Geez you can tell I had just drank a lot of coffee before making those calls, lol.
