Spring Competition - prizes to be won!

As with our winter competition, when we ask for the first day of snow, this is to ask for the first day that the temperature hits 20degrees Celsius.

Sharon and Richard won it last year and the actual day was the 22nd of April

The question you have to answer is:

When will the day time temperature record 20 degrees Celsius or more for the first time this year? The weather station that will be used is Accuweather.

People who bet 10 days before the actual record will not be counted.

The winner to get a bottle of red wine from Sam's and if there is more than one winner, then it is alternative drinks to the value of the wine split between

For those of a non alcoholic persuasion a prize of similar value will be offered.

Get your guess in now!

and a bottle of wine on the next suitable occasion for you

Comment by Chris Knight on April 8, 2014 at 15:27: Accuweather currently says 21 degrees in Changchun. Waiting for the obligatory 5-hour confirmation ... ;-) ;-)

Comment by Chris Knight on April 2, 2014 at 23:49: Thank you, Richard! Go Heide, Go! Go Heide, Go! Cheering you on, girl!!

Comment by Richard Roman on April 2, 2014 at 23:45: Heide - you are still in the running!

Comment by Richard Roman on April 2, 2014 at 23:43: Ok. I made a mistake but Chris is quite right that having given the award, it is wrong to take it back. So chris wins a bottle of wine but the competition remains live!

Someone else can also win!

Comment by Chris Knight on March 29, 2014 at 0:57: Oh, I didn't know it was an "adjustable temperature". LO

I find it incredible that, at 5:00 PM you state that it hit 20, then at 10:00 PM, you say it has changed. That's a 5 hour change. I thought the judge's decision was final. Apparently ... I was wrong ... by 5 hours.

Comment by Heide Turner on March 28, 2014 at 23:45: WooHoo . . . I'm still in the running! Hey, if I win, I'll open with anyone who cares to share it with me.

Cheers -

Comment by Richard Roman on March 28, 2014 at 20:55: Sorry Chris. They have just downgraded yesterday to 18. The bet is still on!

Comment by Chris Knight on March 28, 2014 at 17:26: Thank you Richard. I look forward to enjoying my bottle of Rothschild 1954!

Comment by Richard Roman on March 28, 2014 at 16:47: Well, Accuweather says it hit 20 yesterday (27th March) so according to my calculations this makes Chris the winner. Congrats Chris and the next time I see you, the prize will be awarded
