OK now that all the hype has died down a bit thought I'd present a few facts as
I see them.

Firstly any credit or discredit should go to the organization that actually
provided the model runs that gave the meteorology on which Andrew Bond produced
his winter forecast. NOAA from the USA.

NOAA provide the 100 day (just over 3 months forecast) on which that winter
forecast was based. It is NOAA who are providing the runs that are "diverging"
in January as Andrew Bond mentioned in his January section. Note that the
forecast does not extend into February as it is out of the 100 day range of the
NOAA 100 day GFS product.

Also other outputs from Andrew Bond's site are based on GFS from NOAA so NOAA
should take any credit for the meteorology.

All and full credit to Andrew for the presentation but I would like to see
acknowledgement of sources. I will be pursuing this issue further *personally*
and "offline".

Will.
