They're a LOT of fun- mainly due to Miguel, somehow, staying on top of severe reports from 1048592034 different counties at once and thus providing real time scoring, updated just about every hour. I'm here on the edge of my seat waiting to see if I can hold off Nut for the win on this current one.......... It's summer; there's no interesting wx going on anyway, and everyone has at least a LITTLE more time to spare during the lazy days of summer- take ~10 minutes to look up SPC's outlook for the 11th-12th and enter. It's a lot of fun, and it's even more so with a lot of people.......... Matt Sign Up For The Upcoming Thunderstorm Forecast Challenge!

It's driving me NUTS having only 1 win despite being #1 in points overall. More of you guys should enter to lower my chances of winning even more, to see if I can get pushed to the point of a nervous breakdown. I know I'm too competitive, but it's the way I've always been with contests, sports, etc. I get irritated with myself, but am always happy for the winners and give congrats. But anyway, these contests are awesome and I hope to see more enter. I'm kind of surprised it has been the same 6 people all season. It's very challenging and a lot of fun trying to pick the right counties for each event. And Miguel does an amazing job with these contests. For some of these contests, thousands of points go out. All the counting, wow. I don't know how he keeps up with it like he does. Miguel is the bomb! Also Miguel, if you're ever busy or could use a little break, I'd be happy to score any of the contests the rest of the summer. If you could ever use the help, just let me know.

Just to make sure I'm counting everything correctly. I could send you my spreedsheets to use, if you have the program for it. Miguel Woodside, Queens

I'm really not a great computer person at all ... don't have a lot of knowledge on computer programs. I would probably do it the old fashioned way, scoring with a hand-written chart.
