Here is where some of the more interesting stations ended up overnight:

HIE: -29F
SLK: -27F
CAR: -14F
FVE: -14F
ART: -15F
BML: -26F

I realized that I don't have any easy way of determining the "winner"
because I would need a formula that takes into account how low the
station was and how far off the predicttion was etc. Besides, it was
just for fun anyway.

The Maine stations were surprisingly "warm" (it was even -7F here, so
-14F is no big deal). I think the lesson I learned from this is that the
favored radiational cooling spots (SLK, HIE and BML) will do better on a
cold clear night even if they have nominally "warmer" air over them than
northern Maine higher in the atmosphere.

Look for more fun and meaningless contests in the future!
