Each day can be bet on independently and can be resolved the day after.
Notes:
- Until Manifold allows setting independent close dates on multiple choice markets, I will be setting the close date for these markets to every morning at 11AM UTC. The data for the previous day is usually available by then. I will resolve the previous day and reopen the market as soon as I can get around to it every day.
- Mods: Feel free to resolve the days that have met their resolution criteria if I haven't yet and/or set the new close date a day later.

Observation: based on past data, one should bet at about 90% probability that a particular day will resolve yes. The environment canada website says the likelihood of precipitation is about 60%, and people seem to be anchoring on that, but if January 1st had resolved correctly, then so far 2/21 days in January have resolved NO. I expect that the environment canada website might be excluding E or T ratings.
