GaWx Posted Tuesday at 05:00 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:00 AM This is very sad to read. Roger also ran annual AmericanWx hurricane season forecast contests at least going back to 2016, which is how I best knew him. He put a lot of thought into these as he came up with very carefully thought out scoring formulas and gave regular detailed updates on the standings as well as prospects under various scenarios. May Roger rest in peace. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted Tuesday at 08:23 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:23 PM Sad reading this, I don't post much on any forum learn more reading, however always enjoyed the contests felt like a way to contribute and he put tremendous effort into them to make them competitive and very informative at the end of each month, season and year. RIP Roger prayers to his family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Lightning Posted Wednesday at 02:31 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:31 AM I just read through the thread and in the back of my mind I was hoping it wasn't true; I know he had some health issues recently, but thought he was on the mend. RIP Roger and thank you for keeping this game going for years. It's been fun and I know you spent a lot of time every month compiling stats, etc.; unfortunately my forecasting skills have sucked for the past year and half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted Wednesday at 03:36 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:36 AM Shit! Roger was a gem. Gave me a sad smile to read that one of his wx board handles (IE) was MT Cranium. Fair winds and following seas Roger, and maybe a hurricane when the mood suits you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
