After last week's flip from severe cold to mild which has turned out to be

Most of the time Dave, I agree with you. Forecasting at 10 days is
still beyond us most of the time. It's recognising the few occasions
where the models *are* predicting the actual outcome which is the key!

PS I think evens cold at 7 days is very poor odds!
