Early Numbers Disappointing Vs Prior Years

While we're still very early into the run, here's where we are after 4 days compared to the same relative day in prior years:

• 2009 = 266
  
• 2008 = 652 [2009 is down 59% from this]
  
• 2007 = 485 [2009 is down 45% from this]
• 2006 = 266 [strangely, exactly the same]

Be careful about drawing any conclusions from these numbers, as they are most likely going to change in the upcoming days.

Note that these numbers are just what has been counted, not a projection of the total Herring that has passed to date.
