February 2013 Boards forecast contest

M.T. Cranium

That reading shows up as -6.9 C at Markree Castle on Sunday, which will also be the coldest of the winter season, if confirmed in the MS.

DOCARCH

-7.0c for Markree on the 25th.

IMT 4.7c for February

M.T. Cranium

Here are the final stats for February:

IMT 4.7 C

MAX 13.2 C

MIN --7.0 C

PRC 70% (69.6 actually)

SUN 119% all thanks to Belmullet near twice normal (the rest were near normal)

As already discussed, the bonus question goes in the same order as predictions, as there was 7.8h sunshine for the maximum on the 14th.

So now we score (perhaps) ... stay tuned, I may get this done before my next beauty sleep.

_________________________________________________________

Seems that these new tougher late penalties are just hitting all the wrong targets so perhaps I may ease up on them a bit ... in the meantime, check my addition as I am now officially sleepwalking.

Congrats to the folks who managed to beat Con Sensus, (dasa29, homolumo, waterways, nabber) ... not too many of us did but the scoring was fairly good, all the themes were a bit faint but cold, dry and sunny in a way.

Annual scores some time later today.

Oh, also a calculation of those seasonal awards and then over to the winter forecast contest which still has some time left to run in case it snows again or gets colder than -7.0, the lowest reading of the winter so far.

Annual scores will be worked out after the end of April. The three numbers in the brackets are Dec, Jan and Feb scores, so your annual score is the sum of the last two. There's one or two entrants who missed December but have their two entries in for the annual competition.
