Try your hand at authoring your own, creative, weather-related sentence using this week’s word, and if our multi-person panel of judges deems yours the winning sentence, you’ll win two VIP spots at Park Place…in Boston! Five restaurants in Park Plaza have teamed up to create an exquisite dining experience, and Matt is your ticket to dine!

There was a lot of business to take care of in Matt’s Weekly Weather Word Contest today! After an extended entry period over the weekend, it was time to announce the winner – who will not only receive the NECN Prize Package, but also a special “Expressions” tie from the Jimmy Fund.
A new word of the week was announced too, and as always, it is your job to come up with your own creative weather-related sentence using the word of the week. So send your entries, along with author’s name, address and phone number (for shipping purposes ONLY) via email to weatherword@necn.com. Our multi-person panel of judges will review all of the entries at the end of the week, and our winner will be announced Friday morning on NECN at 6:51 AM!

There was plenty of ground to make up in Matt’s Weekly Weather Word contest today, with a winner to announce from last week, and a new word this week.
Last week’s word, “whinge,” produced some creative entries from authors of all ages, with the Hit or Miss game – a Mensa award winning game, no less – on the line, donated by Gamewright.
Gamewright has generously offered another game for this week’s prize package – a Best Toy of the Year award winner, “Ring-o Flamingo!” You’ll have to work in order to win it, though, because you can’t win if you don’t play, and you can only play by composing your own, creative, weather-related sentence using the new word of the week! View the video below for the new word, and more on Ring-o Flamingo!

Note: Because a) this post didn’t appear until Friday, and b) Matt was off on Friday, this week’s contest runs until Monday morning, June 15. Good luck!
No whining about our new word of the week – “whinge!” If you don’t already know what the word means, you’ll want to investigate in your most handy dictionary, but your challenge is a bit more in-depth: pen your own, creative, weather-related sentence using the word of the week. As always, our multi-person panel of judges will grade the sentences at the end of the week, for Matt to announce a winner on Friday morning.
This week’s prize package features a fun game for all ages from Gamewright, too, so check out the video for more details!

You’ll want to give plenty of time, thought and effort to this week’s Weather Word challenge, because there’s an awesome prize package at stake!
Michael Doyle runs a company called Wooden Pen Works, specializing in handmade wooden gifts. Who is Michael Doyle? Another Weather Word fan, like you and I, but an exceptionally generous fan who has donated an amazing carved wooden pen for this week’s prize! The pen has raised NECN letters on it, and has “Weekly Weather Word Winner” engraved on its face, and comes in a beautiful wooden case that is a combination of wood burning, carving and etching with fabulous detail. We were all floored at how beautiful it is – so put your thinking caps on, and good luck. Thank you Michael and Wooden Pen Works!
