It has been a pretty mild winter so far, what does that mean for
this year's UW weather station contest?
The entry period is now over for the 2023 edition of
the UW weather station contest.
Of course the challenge was to successfully guess the day and time that the
UW weather station will first hit 20 degrees?
Thanks to Wayne Jenkinson for the UW Weather Station Contest banner seen at the top of this page.

1. The temperature listed on the weather station is rounded up to the nearest 0.1 of a degree. Thus, the winning time will technically be the first time the temperature is 19.950 degrees Celsius or higher after 12:01 am March 1, 2023.
2. Two people will NOT be allowed to have the same time, hence please check the calendar to make sure that nobody else has already chosen the time and date you are entering.
3. Only one entry per person and e-mail adress will be accepted.
4. All times used in the contest will be local time (ie. at 2:00 am March 12 we will start to use Daylight Saving Time).
5. All entries must be submitted by 2:00 pm EST, March 6th 2023.
6. In case of a tie, the person with the closest guess prior to the correct time will win.
7. Any rulings made by the contest organizer (Frank Seglenieks) are final.
