While talking to some folks on the WIVB-Weather blog many have suggested we make a comeback to the 4 degree guarantee. Don Paul (Chief Meteorologist of WIVB-TV in Buffalo,NY) suggested I put the new 4 degree guarantee on my blog. I gladly agreed to it.

Every day you all can make a prediction of what you think the high and low temperature for the next day will be at the only. For example today is January 12th 2009 so I will predict tomorrows (January 13th 2009) high and low temperature by clicking "comment" on my blog.You MUST be within 4 degree of the high temp AND the low temp to get a point for that day. The only place to predict the temps for is the BUF AIRPORT.

After the airport has reported their data we will see who won for the day (by who is closest to the high/low or right on).

Each person must leave their name or else their prediction will not be accounted for. Each blogger gets 1 vote per day.

Whoever has the most wins for each month may recieve a special prize.

Enjoy.

Gotta go with a high temp AND low temp to get a point for the day John.

And about the prize not sure... Anyone have a suggestion that is Buffalo related or weather related...

Just a "kudos" is fine with me. Juju, we think alike.

I'll be willing to donate free lift tickets to the Luge.

Devin,
Don deleted my post I left on the weather thread stating that I left directions to the Luge on the new fun thread. So I don't know how many of the regular bloggers got that message. So with your permission I would like to leave directions on how to get to the Luge here since I think the regulars will be chiming in.

Devin, sounds good. So it is a tally of who ever accrues the most points by the end of the contest? I realize you get a point for being within 4, but if you are the outright winner for a given day do you earn extra points?

Anyone want to try the Luge ar check it out, I left directions on the New Fun Thread at WIVB. If your going to be in the Chestnut Ridge area, It's worth checking out. I'm only a couple miles from there off Armor Duells towards Hamburg.

Devin, get in the car with your parents and take a ride would ya!!

Hay Devin,
Sorry I forgot about the 4 degree guarantee. Looks like it fizzled out on you. Sorry. I've been very busy with the luge so I havn't even been on the wivb blog that much.
Anytime you want to come over and check the hill out your more than welcome. I saw you were at KB and the Ridge. That is really close to my house. If you're going to be in the area, and just want to look at the Luge and run just drive by. I guarantee you've never seen anything like it. Pics dont do it justice. But check out this one.

I posted more on the "new fun thread" if you want to check them out. It's a little bigger since I took that pic and the ones on the other blog.
