Hi Steve,I imagine you heard about the latest DC area snow fiasco. They are already dubbing it “Snowquester”.Just before the “storm” began, the weather models (about 10 of them) were predicting 8-12″ of snow for downtown DC. Even the most “bearish” model predicted 5″. Same models likewise predicted 12-18″ for western suburbs with the most bearish predicting 10″. They shut down the government, all the schools, etc.The net result was nothing in downtown DC, an inch of slush where I live in Greenbelt and only 2-3″ in normally snowy western suburbs like Germantown and Dulles Airport.So we are supposed to believe that similar models that can’t make an accurate 6 hr forecast can make a 50 year forecast? Give me a break!Andy
