Can you remove that ugly thing? I actually think it's kind of fun having forecast contests here.

 

Having a couple a month would be a good way to get people engaged IMO. The weather doesn't even need to be doing anything particularly spectacular to warrant one. Sometimes "dull" periods without a lot of forcing one way or the other can be some of the most difficult to forecast.

[snow_wizard]

I think I'll participate in this one.  Warm anoms will be hard to come by later in the year.

My heart goes out to that kid.

My heart goes out to that kid.

 

It's Jared as a young lad. He was actually slightly LESS awkward back then, believe it or not...

[Deweydog]

I'm so famous.

 

Is the Canadian out yet? I'm still scamblex since the time change.

People here don't do it for a living. They do it when they enjoy it.

 

Aside from an unusual bevy of Jesse/Tim pre-summer anxiety, it's a typical mid spring on the forum.

Tim has been bouncing off the walls with pre-summer anxiousness. It's almost palpable. Like I said, I just survived our two warmest on record. Another one wouldn't be a lot of skin off my nose. He has way more to lose in this situation, with couple year dynasty of yuppie friendly summers potentially coming to an end. Fun stuff!

Cool dude stuff.

You gonna make a forecast yet? Put up or shut up.

[Deweydog]

I'm gonna have a superdelegate represent me. I told him to just avoid being off by eight degrees for the two warmest days and we'll be skookum.

 

Any early no way proclamations?

Ahhh Jesse.... this kind of post just proves your anxiety.     Sort of silly really, and factually incorrect.   But you need a person to blame for the last 2 summers since nature does not listen... so Matt and I have been your targets.   

 

For the record once again... every summer since we moved here has been nice with the exception of 2010 and the first part of 2011.    You try to paint a picture that it must be 97 degrees with trees dying for me to be happy with summer.     Just your anxiety of course.

Alright, well then it must be your anxiety trying to paint a picture that I need it to be 55 with drizzle all summer to be happy. That is also totally inaccurate.

 

In reality there are probably a lot of Summers we'd both like.

 

Anyway, this is a forecast thread. I'd like to try to keep the bickering to a minimum here.

Fair enough... but you launched into it last night.

Our resident Hockinson sociopath was more to blame. For some reason he felt the need to put us both down in a response to a post where I was simply calling for more contests to get the community more engaged.

We need to blame Matt more often!

Maybe...but in this case he deserves it for getting the forecast thread off the rails.

You and dewey should get engaged.

Hope to see you make a forecast here. We missed you last time!

Midnight Thursday night?   

 

I will be able to nail Friday if you give us until midnight on Friday night!  

 

Not that Friday should even be in the contest since it will not be a warm day.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling.

 

Obviously the scorching part comes post 4/15. I included Friday because I think it's fun to get a mix of types of days in contests. Gives people a chance to flex their cool anomaly AND warm anomaly forecasting skills.

None of it looks "scorching".

All relative, warm for mid-April.

Victim Jesse crawls out and makes another appearance!

 

You've been riding Tim like a BMX bike this spring. Own it.

Going too warm on the marine push day (Tuesday) if the 12Z ECMWF is correct.

It's six days away.  In April.  Who ******* cares???

Jesse cares.

 

 

Want him gloating over another contest victory?

Matt going way too warm for the tail end of a warm event?

 

No way.

I think the amount of respective riding has been pretty equitable. Must be one of those BMX bikes that rides another BMX bikes while the first BMX bike is riding it. Only in Portland...

[Phil]

I think I'll give this one a shot. If I win, you guys will have no excuses.

[Phil]

I think we should do forecasting contests more frequently. Would be fun to do one for each month/week or something regular like that.

Agreed.

I think even the most indigent of individuals deserve personal victory on occasion.  More than one, even.
