Well we lost some good threads due to the computer glitch, but I did manage to salvage the seasonal outlooks which had been posted. Here is what I had captured prior to the data loss:
The Pros
NHC (avg) 13/8/3
TSR 12/7/3
Dr Gray 14/8/3
The Cons (couldn't resist )
ED 12/7/3
Steve 14/8/4
HankFrank 13/8/3
Kevin/Rob 13/7/3
Cycloneye 14/8/3
Rich B. 14/9/4
Toni 13/9/3
Joe 14/7/3
Clyde W. 15/8/4
JustMe 16/10/4
Rainband 12/6/4
Frank P 13/8/3
StormHound 18/9/2
troy2 16/8/4
Hope that I didn't overlook anyone that may have posted their numbers. Certainly a tight cluster this year for a busy season. Updated on 06/14 - not as tight a cluster anymore!
About two dozen registrations were lost, so if you registered after April 28th, please re-register on the site.
Just for the fun of it (no science involved), on what date will Bill become a named reality? BTW, I have an entry 'cutoff' rule, so waiting a day or so before the next TS is likely to be named will not get you the prize - remember, this is a fun thing.
Cheers,
ED

Well ED I guess I will be the first Con to stick my neck out...lol
My best guess would be the last week of June or the first week of July, but to narrow it down to a certain date I am going to say June 29th

Ok, you guys are too conservative. You're pretty much going with the pros. First off, Bill will form on June 27th. Secondly, my numbers are 18/9/2.
May the season find you entertained, but safe!

This Atlantic is really trying to give us Bill sooner rather than later...I'm going with June 18th...frankly I think Bill is going to come from our sudden uptick in shower activity in the Western Carribean.
PS- Ed, I did read the 11:30 before posting this, so if that eliminates me from the running I understand.

Just a note, we've put on a couple new layers of backups now so at most we lose about 24 hours if something catastrophic happened with the site..
