I don't buy it. We are not really guessing right now. The deviation standard puts beyond five days at so wide a potential path... We might get to six days with new algorithms, but I don't see more beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 You don't have to buy it. I was just making a comment based on an article I had read in a magazine speaking to existing computer model differences and how the satellite was supposed to eliminate some of that. No big deal.

Ok, yes...I am buying it. Taxes... I just know too much about the data, and the agencies making the claims. Satellites won't change the variable nature. I would LOVE to be proven wrong. Still waiting for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I doubt our ability to model the weather with any accuracy to more than 3-4 days in advance will improve much for quite some time. The sheer volume of data required is staggering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that the power seldom goes out at my office, I decided I would take stuff out of our two freezers here at home and take them there. On my last day of work before the storm, I took 12 ea. 1 quart bags of prepared tomatoes from this past spring. I figured everything else could be replaced! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
