Crap, looks my YXU and YYZ numbers I got from the EC site are wrong. Any help would be appreciated for those two sites, and I'll make the necessary adjustments.

 

Nipher was particularly disgraceful with this one, coming in with just 3.6". 7.2" was measured by a ruler at the downtown station and jibes with reality. You did say "YYZ" so you be the judge as to which you want to make the official number for this context.

 

YXU was 5.9".

Gracias. Have to run with the Nipher, considering I did say YYZ.

 

So, my original chart/scoring is final. Alek wins.

Congrats Alek. I'll say it again, although I don't always follow my advice, conservatism usually wins the day in meteorology.

I know that he catches a lot of flak, but Alek's conservative calls are usually closer to reality.

But as HM8 says, :weenie: :weenie: :weenie:

Guess I don't understand your scoring as Cyclone77 was more accurate than Alek in 8 of 10 of those locations.

 

Yes Alex did well but it is my opinion that Cyclone77 was the best forecast.

Yeah. Deviation from actual makes more sense. Add up the absolute value difference for all stations. Theoretically someone could have guessed 32.8 for MLI and then Trace for all other stations and won.
