Default dreams vs. reality

If you believe that, why do you moderate a forum that supports a individual
who claims the opposite of what you apperently believe?

Well, to try and forecast a season a year away is sheer folly in my
opinion. I'm not saying it shouldn't be attempted, but I am saying that
any success with a forecast at that range can be attributed to luck rather
than any scientific basis.

One day it may be scientifically possible (personally I doubt it) but
until that day, luck will always be a huge part of LRFs of that range

I didn't think Paul Bartlett issued a winter forecast this time?

Willing to
be proved wrong of course...


He issued his official 2005 winter forecast back in February, 2004!:-o

Brian Gaze has even made a massive thread about it!:-o

However, this year he is actually very much undecided to as just what
exactly the coming 2006 winter will bring.;-)

If we are to believe Ian Currie's super long-ranger, though, then the
next winter of 2006 should have a COLD, and even snowy, start. Then
again, so was his February 2005.:-(
