Consensus is the median of twelve forecasts so the average of 6th and 7th ranked forecasts.

Highest and lowest forecasts color coded, but Normal has coldest forecast for DCA, NYC, ATL and IAH.

Hey yoda, sorry I didn't get back to you, this is my first time back into the thread since a few hours before you posted. Our late penalties begin to increase just around when you posted, so you didn't do too badly on that, -10% and maybe your later entry gained you some of that back. Look for your entry in the table after I get going here, and I will re-set consensus.

(9th) __ The month has started out quite mild in the east and cold in the southwest, near average for SEA. The coming week is likely to cut into the larger anomalies with a colder period expected in the east by mid-week. The projections for the last part of the outlook are based on a continuation of trends established next week.

(28th) __ Have updated the most likely projections using 27d CF6 and 28th climate reports. Provisional scoring to follow. 

(Mar 1st) _ Final anomalies are now posted, including  BOS which had earlier posted with 29th missing. Scoring is now entirely finalized and I will generate annual totals later today.

__ Extreme forecast report __

DCA, NYC, BOS, IAH and DEN qualified for an extreme forecast.

DCA (+4.8) _ Brian 5671 (+5.0) has a tie with RodneyS at +4.6.

RodneyS will take NYC (+4.8) and BOS (+6.1).

DonSutherland1 (+0.7) will take IAH with the lowest forecast still a bit higher than the outcome of +0.5. 

For DEN, yoda has the high score for coldest forecast and after late penalties remains a point ahead of tied RodneyS and RJay, so that will count as a win for yoda. 

The other locations appear headed for a high score near our consensus, so no extreme forecasts at ORD, ATL, PHX or SEA.

BEST SCORES -- Totals for January and February

Forecasters are listed in same order as annual points standings. Only those who have any best scores are listed.

Ties are possible which is why some locations have more than two best scores, also, if Normal or consensus

achieve a top score, the actual forecaster with high score gets an award also.

Four Seasons -- Winter 2019-20 scoring

This year, I will go back to a simpler format for this contest within a contest. Just points for total score ... ten for top score, seven for second highest, and down from there to one point for eighth (nothing for 9th or 10th this time). So this is the first of four scoring rounds in the four seasons contest. 

FORECASTER ___________________ Dec-Jan-Feb total points _____ Four seasons points

RodneyS ________________________ 1751 ________________________ 10

wxallannj _______________________ 1615 __________________________ 7

BKViking _______________________ 1483 __________________________ 6

DonSutherland 1 ________________1391 __________________________ 5

hudsonvalley21 _________________ 1388 __________________________4

Tom ____________________________ 1296 __________________________3

Scotty Lightning ________________ 1220 __________________________ 2

wxdude64 ______________________ 1190 __________________________1

________________________________________________

Consensus with 1410 would also score 5.
