>>> LI Phil actually came mighty close with his prediction.

So, I know I didn't "win". It's all in fun anyway. But a quick question. Is this going to be like the Price Is Right, where if no one actually gets the date right, is it the closest to the date, or is anyone who went "low" (remember those who would bid "one dollar" because they felt everyone was over?), i.e. if a system does get named before the next prediction, am I considered the victor? (I really don't care, but I'm just curious). Or is it closest to the actual date?

All day I tried to find a buoy with sustained winds of 35 or more and couldn't, but I would still think this baby had at least TD status. Not TS status, but TD status.

Anyway, thanks for the props. BTW, do you have an opinion about NHC basically dismissing NRL's invest call? I know there's a lot of shear out there, but shouldn't they at least think about a flight? Looked pretty healthy this afternoon.

Cheers,

LI Phil
