Ranking a year's chase days is something I've thought about in the past, and have even discussed with chaser friends before, but I'm not sure I've seen it done here. So, why not?
Here's how I envision this working:
So, without further ado, my preliminary list looks something like...
01. April 27 (Tuscaloosa-Birmingham, Hackleburg-Harvest AL, Philadelphia MS, etc.)
02. May 24 (Canton, Lookeba, El Reno, Chickasha, Goldsby, Shawnee)
03. June 20 (Hill City-Norton KS, Kearney Co. NE, Bradshaw NE, etc.)
04. November 7 (Tipton, Manitou-Snyder, WMWR, Ft. Cobb)
05. May 22 (Joplin, Grove OK, IA/MN, etc.)
06. May 21 (Sulphur-Hickory OK, Ada OK, Reading KS, Topeka, etc.)
07. April 19 (Litchfield IL, Girard IL, etc.)
08. April 26 (Ben Wheeler TX, Gun Barrel City TX, Mabank TX, etc.)
09. April 9 (Mapleton IA, Sac City IA, etc.)
10. April 14 (Tushka OK, Okmulgee OK, Burbank OK, etc.)
Here's how I envision this working:
- You can rank your top 10 using whatever criteria you like, but keep in mind that my intention is to make this about the top days that the season offered up, as opposed to your personal best chase days. For example, I didn't even leave home on my #1-ranked day.
- Discussion is encouraged, but please make sure to bold your list, so as to make it easily distinguishable when scrolling through the thread. (Also, there's no need to list locations and link to reports threads for each day like I did, unless you want to).
- Lists, including mine, may be revised as additional dates are brought up in the discussion that we may have overlooked.
- Depending on how many responses there are, it might be fun to calculate some sort of composite ranking, though I haven't decided exactly how yet.
So, without further ado, my preliminary list looks something like...
01. April 27 (Tuscaloosa-Birmingham, Hackleburg-Harvest AL, Philadelphia MS, etc.)
02. May 24 (Canton, Lookeba, El Reno, Chickasha, Goldsby, Shawnee)
03. June 20 (Hill City-Norton KS, Kearney Co. NE, Bradshaw NE, etc.)
04. November 7 (Tipton, Manitou-Snyder, WMWR, Ft. Cobb)
05. May 22 (Joplin, Grove OK, IA/MN, etc.)
06. May 21 (Sulphur-Hickory OK, Ada OK, Reading KS, Topeka, etc.)
07. April 19 (Litchfield IL, Girard IL, etc.)
08. April 26 (Ben Wheeler TX, Gun Barrel City TX, Mabank TX, etc.)
09. April 9 (Mapleton IA, Sac City IA, etc.)
10. April 14 (Tushka OK, Okmulgee OK, Burbank OK, etc.)
