If GW does accept that late entry, we have then have 50 entrants after all.

There is a separate thread for the other competition but I don't open up a new one each year. I just rename the existing thread as it only has a few pages to it. It is stickied and I will post the list of predictions there later this evening. No problem to have additional entries in that competition given we are only 4 days into the 365 day year. So no real advantage for making a prediction a couple of days late.

Thanks to everyone who is taking part in the competition. We didn't quite make the 50 mark. There were a number of people who sent separate messages at different times for the January and annual competitions which I hadn't spotted. So the total number of January predictions is 49 but that is still a nice increase on the 36 we had in December.


I will try and post up the annual CET predictions in the other thread tomorrow evening.


Here is the table for January. A nice spread of predictions. Surely somebody will be very close.

Hopefully, we can get a good number of entries for that as well.

Here is the latest tracker for January. Today's CET was barely above freezing. CET currently standing at just 2.94C despite the very mild opening day to the month. A further small fall likely tomorrow.


By the middle of the month it currently looks like we will be tracking slightly above average.


Beyond that ?????? I know where my money is. Currently very happy with my prediction of 3.2C. On a scale of 1 to gary sarre I am starting to feel very confident!!!!  (only those members who have been around a while will get that one)

  Brian overlooked my marketing spam! 


Hopefully we made the 50 mark and hopefully people will stick with us throughout the year, regardless of their position on the score table!  


Of course it’s great to be up at the top in the competition but the best things about these threads are the ongoing discussions, the stats, the records and the banter between people with the same interests.  Not least, the friendly ribbing and jostling for top spots!  All eyes on Darren, Snowshoe and Gusty!

Bertie was right. We should all make an effort to keep it going and you put so much more into it than any of us, we should show our appreciation a bit more!  


In general, it would help our case if we all post regularly to keep the interest going and keep the thread in the ‘recent posts’ list. These threads get a lot of views but not always a lot of posts.  We’ve made a good start this year though!  Let’s keep it up!

Actually, this is one occasion where it would be nice if we could actually get a colder than average month this time, even though that would be bad for me in terms of this month's competition (evidence here that what I think will happen, isn't necessarily the same as what I want to happen when it comes to our weather).

Whether or not that actually ends up happening though, is a different matter altogether especially since colder than average winter months tend to be a rather rare beast these days.
