I thought Glacier and Hound would have definitely got their picks in. Too bad Monty and Abby_wx didn’t. Catnip doesn’t post much during the summer.

The winter's take alot out of Monty l think he needs to recover in the summer to re charge for next winter's disasters called failed.

Looking at this, I lowballed my guesses so badly...

Yes, I never thought it would exceed expectations so enthusiastically.

Hey... not bad so far.

[SouthSardiswx]

Hey... not bad so far.

Not so fast Gooseman there's still tomorrow.

[SouthSardiswx]

I feel we were all winners for the temperatures 🌡we've experienced this weekend.
good job everyone.

[Bonovox]

I haven't been able to "stomach" scoring this yet. I will get to it though.

No worries Bonorman, most members are burnt out right now.

[Bonovox]

Okay! So, I did a preliminary scoring of the heatwave contest. So far, I only did those posters who got their picks in on Friday night for all 4 locations. Those users were Bonovox, VanCitySouth, Typeing3, AbbyJr, Roberts Creeker and Leighbugs.

I used this Environment Canada's historical weather site to score: https://climate.weather.gc.ca/historica ... ata_e.html

Using that site, these were the highs and lows:

YVR
32/18
31/19
32/20

YXX
40/18
42/21
43/22

YYJ
36/17
38/21
39/21

YKA
41/18
44/19
46/21

Finally, I marked the deviations from those temperatures for each user for each day:

VanCitySouth: 47
4,2,0
5,3,2
4,5,10
3,4,5

Typeing3: 54
5,2,2
5,5,6
4,5,4
4,6,6

AbbyJr: 98
5,3,4
10,8,9
9,8,10
11,11,10

Roberts Creeker: 50
4,2,0
6,3,2
4,6,5
6,6,6

Leighbugs: 52
2,4,5
4,2,1
6,8,6
4,6,4

Bonovox: 43
4,1,2
3,0,3
5,7,3
5,4,6

[Bonovox]

With that said, Bonovox was the closest with the lowest deviation from the actual temps. Yay me!

I probably screwed this up in some way, so feel free to look into the data and rescore, but I tried to be as diligent as possible while fending off a 4 and 3 year old.

Thanks Bono. I'll happily take second. That 10 on Victoria's Monday really screwed me over eh? I thought the marine push would get to them a whole day before us. So wrong.

[VanCitySouth]

I also came up with EC 52 and TWN 55 for the record.
