Hey Tacitus , if you are going to add your name to the list of those who think they can beat Jos, you need to get your predictions in pronto, sharpish and without undue delay. If you miss tonight's deadline, you won't beat anyone (apart from any other lazy buggers who also miss the deadline, I suppose).

And The Artist..... I know you are out there. You cannot hide now you have stuck your neck out

As for F1Yorkshire .... I know you are also "out there" on occasions but you were "last seen: Tuesday at 02:11" so I know you know what I know you know so squirrelling yourself away at this stage is not going to work!

 

[Slyboogy]

jez101 is stalking people now.

[Tacitus]

I didn't want to offer my predictions. All I wanted to do was claim my weather predictions are better than Jos because mocking his weather predictions seems like the trendy thing to do. I couldn't let the poll win with a no!

 

[gethinceri]

You are all fools, he could.............etc.

 

[F1Yorkshire]

I'm here! Do I still have time?

 

[teabagyokel]

Nope. Jos beat you.

 

[Brogan]

The deadline's a bit early isn't it?

FF1 will be open for registrations until March 12th...

Brogan - Probably to confound Google Meteorologists!

Anyway, I can announce that we can provide a prize to the winner of this game. And, what more appropriate prize to award than The Weather. The winner of this competition will experience The Weather for life from the date of his victory. The Weather provides additional benefits which may include some of the following:

• A Free Sun Tan with additional Vitamin D!
• The Opportunity to Build Snowmen!
• Free 100% Natural Water!
• A Home Makeover courtesy of Hurricanes & Floodwaters Interior Wrecking Design!
• Mystery Prizes (blown your way by wind!)
• Natural Smelling Air Freshener!
• Something for a British person to talk about!
• Free Days off Work!
• Days when that guy who you can't stand and who lives up a hill can't get into Work!
• Overhead Sun Protection!

These and many other quite possible benefits are brought to you by The Weather*.

*Global Climactic Change may reduce the value of your payout. Many of the benefits listed here only applicable in certain areas, in particular the Sun Tan will not be available in Scotland. Mystery prizes blown to you by wind may be followed by irate owners and/or be crisp packets. Days off work may be deemed skiving if you work with one of those guys who'll get up at 3am and walk about 80 miles to work if the train is down just to make everyone else look bad. If you are British, you may still be deemed a frightful bore. No cash exchanges or alternative prizes. The delivery dates of each type of weather will vary. Clip the Apex are not responsible for any non delivery or dissatisfaction with the weather.

There is a reason for that! With this much time to go, any "predictions" are no more than guesswork. If I had left it until March then the long range forecasts would have given people too much info.

Remember, there is a second phase the week before each race when people can actually use real weather forecasts to predict what will happen. One of the result of this split will be to tell us who has Devine powers to know what the weather is actually going to do. The premise is that Jos is a wunderkind with innate powers to predict weather. We are testing the truth or otherwise of that belief, which appears to be strongly held by gethinceri at the very least.

Everyone is welcome to submit these pre race forecasts, even those who have missed the first stage. The scoring is such that they cannot win overall but I will break the points down so that they at least have access to.some bragging rights
