    You are right, long range weather forecast has no security. :D

    Thanks for the form, Sponge Bob, I just entered my previously posted forecast there, no particular reason for anyone else (of those who entered just here) to do so but you can practice for next month, and of course if you did enter on the form only, you're in the contest with a time stamp to verify. The form and entries to date (using the form) can be viewed in post #2. Just to clarify and prevent any panic, you're fine this month if you're not in that form, as long as you're in this thread. :)

    I will have a table made up after waiting for any latecomers. Just a reminder, late entry time starts just about now (0300h) and from now on, it's a straight ten-point deduction per late day, that will end any questions about being too late. But I will be kind this first time and divide the days in half, so if you enter by 1500h today, it's a five-point deduction, then ten, etc as we go forward.

    In future remember that the entry form can be filled out from any smartphone anywhere on earth whether you are logged into boards or not. Lots of regulars were late this month for some odd reason.

    The "done" bit in the thread is for dealing with any issue of legitimacy that may arise but if you are running late just bosh something into the form down the pub to get in by the deadline and if there is no other entry with your username it will stand as an entry if you don't query it. The important thing is to enter. :)

    By this logic
    fake Sponge Bob entries may appear via the form in future months and will stand as entries unless the real Sponge Bob queries them (I have retired from the monthly comp now, December was my last entry). :)

    Retired ??????

    Who's going to beat Con Sensus next year :confused:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 25,234 ✭✭✭✭Sponge Bob


    Yes, I retired. You must have no idea how much agonising goes into a proper monthly forecast. :p

    So in future I just do admin of the boring stuff that MT need not do. Takes up less of my time and his.

    Meanwhile I'll be number one for christmas and the big showdown in the December comp is now set up between Town and Country in Galway with some feisty yapping noises audible from elsewhere. :D

    The only one who set himself up for a daylight robbery operation is Mindg3m3 who made the only forecast he could to nick the entire year at the death. . If they are right then all of the top 6 will be utterly mangled this month...and if not it is much too close to call.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 25,234 ✭✭✭✭Sponge Bob


    The way the models are looking right now the ones most likely to make a BIG move this month are Mindg3m3 who could jump a lot of places and Jerry Seinfeld who could nick both annual comps at the death.

    The rest of the current Top 6 would be rightly undone by a prolonged cold snap even if headline temps are not epicy low.

    UPDATE for first week (1-7 Dec) ...

    IMT at 4.1 C

    PRC at 95% of normal.

    SUN at 140% of normal (est).

    -5.1 noted on 11th at Mt Dillon.

    IMT currently at 3.6 C, Shannon's 5.1 balances three below that value near the 3C mark, and Claremorris is on that mean.

    At an estimate, precip is barely 60% today but should head up gradually in the next ten days, whether it breaks 100% remains to be seen, possibly could be edging past normal at some point.
