Since its been an odd year all around, I'll go with an odd date... November 20; 1400z - My birthdate! :lol:

[Carrie Halliday]

I am like 0 for 99 this year in guestimating, but what the hey.
My luck could change. I doubt it but I will say...

Nov. 8th 1300Z.

Just occurred to me I'll probably have to "lock" this contest in a week or so, so that no one calls it at the last minute.

 

[David Dildine]

Wait! Gi'me a rope or somethin' ... let me slip my vote in before I loose Ohio again. Hyperventilating... ::huff huff:: Now I'm flustered. Februa... NO! Okay, ready...

I do submit we're in for a big lull what with that upper low pussyfooting around out there. I wish my dryer didn't take so long. ::Yawn::

Thread is unlocked now (was locked for the purposes of keeping out late entries). Thanks Jeff for tallying that up. Unless there is a mistake here, brody is the winner and I'll E-mail him to get him his book. Congrats! What a season; many of us thought we'd never make Alpha.

Also our members got the prediction perfect, selecting the right 10-day window for the majority vote. Great bunch of forecasters here.
