Damn February and it's less than adequate number of days.

 

I'll go for 6.46C

Ahhh, but you know how fickle the models are and the fat lady hasn't even begun to sing yet! 

 

I jumped 23 places after Feb - I expect to fall at least that far after March

Met Office Hadley     6.8c.     Anomaly    2.2c.    Provisional  to   1st.

N-W                        6.78c.    Anomaly   0.49c.

My Mean                  6.2c.     Anomaly   -1.2c.

 

That is all that is updated.

Metcheck online again.   5.20c.   Anomaly   -0.96c.

Don't you just love the British weather!!!  

I was top in January, got it spot on again in February and dropped 19 places!  Penalties for getting away from the British winter.    

Never mind, we have another 9 months to score more points.

Forget! Late guess 6.8'c

Met Office Hadley     5.6c.    Anomaly       1.0c.

Metcheck                 4.50c.  Anomaly      -1.06c.

Mount   Sorrel   No change  and no response to E-mails.....

My    Mean       5.0c.    Anomaly    -1.66c.

I made it 10

I had the same problem of going away over a month-end last year so I just PM'd GW before I left. The downside was I had to do my guesstimate 14 days before the due date.

To be fair to everyone else, it can be a big advantage to be late with your guess and I think it's right to apply a big penalty (or even treat them as missing), For instance anyone putting in a March figure now would have the advantage of all the official "upping" of the warm spell being forecast just in the last day or two which wasn't so prominent in the models at the end of Feb. So I think it's a case or "rules is rules " for these late guesses (IMO only)

Pssst, Caz! The idea is to score fewer 'points'

    You're quite right it is ten, but Saint was saying his guess for March was naff and I meant he still had a further nine more guesses.  That's the problem with posts that can only quote once, rather than showing the whole conversation.  But it makes it interesting! 

I absolutely agree with the fairness of the penalty system and I'd rather be included late than miss the competition altogether - it's the taking part that counts, so I'm happy!  I really should have pm'd my guess but all my thoughts were with the sun drenched beach waiting for me and a bikini soaked Pina colada - Saint's fault!  Anyway, in my case, it makes no difference whether my guesses are early or late because they're all plucked out of thin air.

    Well, they're all a little too high for my liking at the moment Art!  I'm on the slippery slope down the table but at least I've experienced the dizzy heights of the top spot!

Where is the "league table" available to view?

GW always posts the updated table at the end of each month, so the latest one is February's.  Hopefully  this is a link to the February table

I'll leave the February stats sticked for a few more  days so everyone's had a chance to read it. :-)
