Quick contest: Wednesday high temperatures


Hoosier

Recommended Posts

A number of areas look to challenge their all-time February record highs tomorrow, and with the major unseasonable warmth in general, here is a contest for tomorrow's highs.  This is simply OVER/UNDER, with 2 exceptions for tiebreakers where exact values are required.  

I give a value and you guess over or under. For reference, the all-time February record highs for each city are provided in parentheses. 

OVER/UNDER

Chicago, IL ORD: 74.5 (record: 75)

Rockford, IL RFD:  71.5 (record: 70)

Milwaukee, WI MKE:  70.5  (record: 68)

Moline, IL MLI:  76.5  (record: 74)

St. Louis, MO STL:  80.5  (record: 85)

Indianapolis, IN IND:  72.5  (record: 76)

Fort Wayne, IN FWA:  71.5  (record: 73)

 

Tiebreaker 1:  Guess the exact high temperature on Wednesday at Champaign, IL (CMI)

Tiebreaker 2:  Guess the exact low temperature on Wednesday at Chicago, IL (ORD)

 

Contest is open until 12 a.m. central time. You can edit up until then but any entries/edits after midnight will not be accepted.

:lol:  honestly when I checked the zone forecast at the time, I think it was showing 62 or something, and I know Detroit's all time high is 70.  Looks like it could get close though if things work out.

I purposely went with half degrees to avoid ties on over/under.  A high of 76.5 at MLI would round up to 77 on the climate report. So I'm going to put you down as over at MLI.

cyclone77!  He got 2 wrong.  Chicago Storm came in second place.

Ended up being a challenging day with the fog/stratus issues.  The only location that went over was MKE.

Actual outcome:

ORD:  under

RFD:  under

MKE:  over

MLI:  under

STL:  under

IND:  under

FWA:  under
