I'll give it another day or two before I post September forecast numbers for BKViking to submit. Here is the update on Max temps so far this summer. Reminder the error is for every degree off is only 1 point off. Green indicates that it was a record high tied or set that day of the max temp, most of these should remain untouched but will revisit this again in mid October.

August results were updated on the bottom of last page.

Sorry for the lateness just had some free time to post. Here are the September forecasts. I will try to update max temps around mid October and we will do the typical snowfall forecasts around the December forecast timeframe. As stated before I will try something with persistence come the new year for anomalies of a 6 month running mean to see how that works out.

Bkviking I may have to invoke some late penalty for that but we will see how the month shapes up before that happens.
