I fear this will be another low scoring month for me. I won't be surprised if i'm pipped at the post.
I think Strasser might well have been champ' if he had been in the weather league from the beginning.

Thanks for the encouraging words, we'll never know but there's always next year.
I'm really looking forward to the next few months when we have to start weighing up the chances of what we want (cold and snow) against what we'll probably get, despite the current promising signals, mild dross. So will your predicted minimum be -10 in a siberian easterly or a -1 from an overnight atlantic ridge? Could I suggest that one of the questions, to really set us up with this dilemma, be "number of days with snow lying" at one of the midland stations?

As the months have rolled by a clear patterning has emerged..Nacho is a lucky so and so extremely accurate forecaster of immense skill and possibly is a secret agent from Met Eireann, and that I shouldn't give up the day job any time soon.

Once again Nacho tops the monthly charts and is year to date table topper too. I really must try to fix these questions better :P

Nemonoid and Danno are finishing strongly and I think ones for Nacho to watch out for next year!

Snowbie moves back to second place due to getting an extra 10 points for his lucky skilful prediction of the first frost of the season or something..no, I'm not bitter! :pac:

Look like Nacho is may have the inaugural Boards Weather League champion title sown up for 2008 barring any score rigging surprising mishaps this month :D:pac:

So without further adieu here are the month and year to date tables.

Nacho Libre, take a bow!!

Danno

Any word on the Dec results?

Supercell

Sorry Danno (and everyone else) have been caught up with other stuff recently. I'll do them tomorrow evening in work when its quiet.

Danno

Fair play SC, no rush.

Here are the final results of the Boards 2008 Weather league.
The final winner will come as a huge shock to you all..but more on that later...

In December all exact answers scored double points which lead to some very high scores.
Trogdor topped the monthly table as indeed he did in the first month of the league back in march with an impressive 86 point..followed by the one and only Nacho..and myself and Nemonoid. Snowbie obviously was drinking when he made his forecast for snow on Xmas day and Paddy go so excited with the whole thing (goading Nacho mostly..) that he forgot to enter himself

Here's the December league, well done to all table toppers



There was a few last minute place changes Trogdor moving into second spot and Nemonoid holding on to third place by two points.

Snowbie dropped a couple of places to sixth and CH750536 making his first appearance in the top fine, one to watch next year for sure!!

Drum roll...!!!!!!!

So without further adieu, let me offer the congratulations to Nacho Libre, Boards.ie 2008 Weather League Champion!!!

Here's a picture of the Champ his ma sent me of him posing for us in his native Mayo after being informed of his pending victory.



Here's the final league standings for 2008. Lets hope next year is just as much fun and that I don't have to ask Nacho's ma for more pictures :pac::pac::D

Danno

Classic! LOL! Congrats Nacho! :P

Snowbie

Well done nachos and all involved in the league and stuff, well done

kindredspirit

Thanks to supercell once again for keeping the comp' updated throughout the year and more importantly thanks to him for accepting my monthly brown envelopes;)
