You guys get your predictions from the Farmer’s Almanac? Finally I understand economics.

Well, they were almost dead wrong about this summer, so take that “super cold” asscast* with a grain of salt. Here’s to hoping they’re wrong again.

*because that’s what they do. They pull their forecasts out of their ass.

Didn’t capital weather gang predict a mild last winter? Apparently they’re all just making this up.

Didn’t anyone read Nate Silver’s book? More than three days out, the best way to determine the weather is to look at daily average temperatures.

That said, I will personally blame Dismal if this winter sucks again. And Al Gore.

Don’t shoot the messenger. :rolleyes:

The difference is that CWG and NOAA will admit their mistakes and analyze how they went wrong when they do. The Almanac continues to forge new territory in non-accountable forecasting.

PS – This past winter got everybody because it was so extreme and odd.
