Here is a recap of forecasts as well as what ended up being the actual anomalies for the month of April.

[so_whats_happening]

Here is the final scoring for April as well as the current standings Jan-Apr. Bolded are the scores with the highest total for each region, some great scores for this month and a great first month for GaWx. We had some changes in standings for Jan-Apr with Chuck taking a solid uptick even after missing out a month with Donsutherland taking a more commanding lead.

Keep up the great work folks!
