Weekly Weather Word Contest, winner for week of December 15-19, 2008
Posted by Matt Noyes December 22, 2008 at 9:46 am
The Weekly Weather Word Contest featured a wonderful surprise for the winner this week. Announced a day delayed from the normal Friday winning announcement (due to the big storm last week), a fifth grade student at the Merrymount School in Quincy, MA, took home the top spot in the votes by our panel of judges. What a surprise his family was in for when they found out they’ll be able to dine off the fruits of their son’s labor! BOKX 109 American Prime Steakhouse in Newton, MA, generously volunteered a $100 gift certificate to this week’s winner of the contest!
Located in Hotel Indigo, BOKX 109 is Newton’s newest gem - open seven days a week and located just off the Grove Street exit of Route 128. See their website for more on the restaurant, a big thank you for their generosity, and a huge congrats to our winner! Please note that the Weather Word contest will take a brief break for the holiday, with a new word returning at 6:51 AM on January 5, 2009! Happy New Year, everyone!

Last week’s announcement of a winner was delayed due to the Great Ice Storm of 2008, but the Weekly Weather Word Contest was back on track this morning, making up for lost time. The winner for the word “sprightly” was announced - and was a fifth grader, at that! How about the new word? Watch the video to find out and submit your own entry to this week’s contest!

This week’s word was “hypaethral” and it was a tough battle for the top spot! Our multi-person panel of judges always takes a pure democratic vote to determine the winner, and this week was a battle! In the end, our winner hails from the island of Martha’s Vineyard, squeezing out one more vote than the nearest competitor!

It was a much-anticipated announcement of the winning sentence for the Weekly Weather Word Contest - you’ll remember that Todd English’s Bonfire Steakhouse at Park Plaza in Boston generously donated a dinner for two! Adjacent to the Boston Park Plaza Hotel and Towers, the South American inspired restaurant has an open-view kitched where food is prepared over an open flame, and the kitchen is a fusion of an American steak house with a Latin flavor. So who’ll be enjoying excellence in dining? View the video to find out - and get the new word of the week. Make sure to enter this week’s contest and show New England what you’re made of - the winner will be announced on Friday morning at 6:51 AM on NECN!

With a package of yummy politically-themed cookies from Harvard Sweet Boutique at stake, it was a tough decision between a few exceptional sentences in the Weekly Weather Word contest this week! In the end, a set of Democrat or Republican cookies will be on the way to Michael Dresser of Hyannis, MA. Some of the other wonderful sentences were shared on-air, too!
