That guy says what I want to hear.


Must be a "great forecast" then.

Also, is this an echo from over a week ago? Maybe we are doomed to see
Joe's winter forecast again and again on a regular basis..... 8))

Paul was that a smiley of some description 8)). Wah hey.


.............and what about the sentiments in my post?

I'm not too sure what they were?

The way I see it is Joe is a respected meteorologist who although working
for the commercial sector which is lead by business needs -and they I would
imagine have to be pretty good in order to earn an income. I note that Will
in another thread has mentioned that Business and meteorology don't really
work together and that is a point that has some value. However it does seem
to me that Joe has far more free reign with Accuweather to speak his mind
then some of the apparachniks working for UKMO. There is not seemingly one
dissident forecaster that deviates from the doom laden AGW line by as much
as a hairs breadth.

Joe is also trying to use all the observational technology to have a stab at
look at weather patterns and is infinitely more enlightening and interesting
then his British colleagues are seemingly allowed to be.

You can prattle on all day about Joe's accuracy UKMO isn't that good, in
fact I've always stated that UKMO always over egg the pudding with their
ludicrous severe weather warnings which manage a staggering degree of
hyperbolic inaccuracy only hours ahead.

Anyhow lets see how Joe's Dec, Jan and Feb forecast for the Eastern states
of America and Europe pan out
