Interupting “All Lew all the Time” with an announcement of March temperature. Evidently, the currently announced March UAH temperature is in a dead heat with the currently posted February temperature! The winners are
Hal, TallDave and Freezedried.
Hal edged out TallDave by entering his bet before TallDave. Note that two of these bettor used the “bet February temperature Roy posted in their initial post”. That was a winning strategy this month. Wooo hooo!
It’s April. Weather is warming in our parts. I advise spending your winnings on a new swimsuit.
I’ll be opening bets for April temperature soon. (Likely tomorrow. I need to go jog. This exercising stuff actually works. For reasons I will not explain right now, I call this my “Breaking Bad” diet. I’ve been trying to burn about 1500 calories/week through exercise since about last October. I’ve been losing 2 lbs a month for a while now. I’d gotten really porky and now I’m not so porky.)

The net winnings for each member of the ensemble will be added to their accounts.
I am very happy that I was finally able to “guess” on the warm side. Normally (like the average poster) I bet on the cool side.
Woo-Hoo! I moved up from the previous months poor showing in the 40’s. …..but bottom line I keep losing a steady 3Q’s a month. How soon do I have to write a check to cover my losses? Right after IPCC writes theirs?
