As you only assess on a righ/wrong basis, what are your criteria
for evaluation?
There must be a fair few 'marginal' situations.

You'd be surprised Col. I'm my own harshest critic on judging a
forecast right, or wrong and thus, I don't see the marginal ones as
close. I'm either just about spot on (correct) or not (wrong).
Although the low pressure dominance is there, there is no way this is
Atlantic air. A case, for me, of too wrong to be right.


OK thanks for clarifying that.
You have to be be pretty much spot on to be deemed 'correct'.
