Default Statistical accuracy of online weather forecasts

http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/...204/article.pl

"Brandon Hansen considers the statistical accuracy of popular on-line
weather forecast sources and shows who's on target, and on who you
probably shouldn't rely. Motivated by a trip to a water park that was
spoiled with hail despite a 'clear sky' forecast, he does a nice job of
depicting deviations, averages, and overall accuracy in a manner that
stats junkies are sure to love."

Might be interesting to some to read the article and some of the comments!
