Date for next years meet

[Dennis Mosley]

There has been a bit of talk about changing the date of the Austin meet to the first part of March due to weather. I did a little research...because I woke up too early and could not go back to sleep....and found some weather info you might find interesting.


Here are the Temps and Conditions from Feb 15 to March 21 2002

Feb
15 67 degrees clear
16 62 degrees clear
17 63 degrees clear
18 67 degrees Mostly Cloudy
19 73 degrees clear
20 72 degrees clear
21 75 degrees clear
22 62 degrees clear
23 70 degrees clear
24 74 degrees clear
25 70 degrees clear
26 35 degrees overcast
27 48 degrees no report
28 55 degrees clear
March
1 53 degrees fog
2 38 degrees clear
3 41 degrees clear
4 55 degrees clear
5 63 degrees clear
6 71 degrees overcast
7 72 degrees mostly cloudy
8 68 degrees overcast
9 57 degrees clear
10 55 degrees clear
11 51 degrees rain
12 71 degrees clear
13 80 degrees clear
14 80 degrees clear
15 76 degrees overcast
16 57 degrees overcast
17 62 degrees mist
18 73 degrees scattered clouds
19 73 degrees mostly cloudy
20 62 degrees overcast
21 69 degrees clear

Given that info I sure don't see a reason to change it. If someone would like to do a multi year analysis go for it, but guys let's face it, we live in Texas and the guys with the phd's can't even predict our weather.

My opinion would be to set the date at the last full weekend in Feb and leave it there. I just don's see a move to March being much of a benefit.

I'm sure Ryan and the Austin guy would love to hear what you have to say on this so they can lock this sucker down for next year.

Remember it's your club so speak up!!
