yeah right, i can't believe they consider meteorology a profession.

10/1/2007 10:12:20 AM

I most definetly dont

there are retarded monkeys in Australia with a dartboard that can predict the weather we will get better than our meteorological "experts"

10/1/2007 10:18:00 AM

so far it has been pretty active in technical terms, but not very many named storms have made landfall

proof the global warming retards dont know what they are talking about.

10/1/2007 11:44:14 AM

I remember in 2005 they had to start using Alpha, Beta, etc. to name storms.

Yeah, years. Two of them.

10/1/2007 2:38:28 PM

i wish i could get away with being wrong that often

10/1/2007 2:40:27 PM

this will be the most active hurricane season in years

translation: look at me, i'm an attention whore.

10/1/2007 4:02:44 PM

We are talking about predictions here.

2005 was nuts. And the meteorologists didn't see it coming.

Of course, after 2005 every meteorologist and their mother predicted 2006 would have lots of hurricanes. As it turned out, 2006 was a very mild hurricane year. Then they blame their fuck-up on a salty La Nina or some bullshit, and claim that 2007 is gonna be CRAAAZY with hurricanes. Of course they are wrong again, and they'll have to think up a new excuse this year.

These guys just pull their predictions out of their ass.

10/1/2007 4:53:42 PM

The season hasn't been that inactive, it just hasn't had much of an impact on the U.S.

We're already had storm 'M', 'N' looks like it may form over the next couple days, and given that we're in a La Nina pattern we should have a relatively active October and November. It's not often you get to 'T' in a year, and we could easily get there.

We've also broken several records for fastest developing storms, and its been the only season with two hurricanes making landfall as Cat-5.

2005 does make it look like crap though, it's true.

you'd think the current "below average rainfall" would be the new average by now

every year there's a drought

Squalls out on the gulfstream
Big storm's coming soon
Passed out in my hammock
God I slept till way past noon
Stood up and tried to focus
I Hoped I wouldn't have to look far
Knew I could use a bloody mary
So I stumbled next door to the bar

And now I must confess
I could use some rest
I can't run at this pace very long
Yes it's quite insane
I think it hurts my brain
But it cleans me out
And then I can go on

There's something about this Sunday
It's a most peculiar gray
Strolling down the avenue that's known as A1A
Feeling tired, I nearly got inspired
I knew that it wouldn't last long
So all alone I walked back home
Sat on the beach and then I made up this song

And now I must confess
I could use some rest
I can't run at this pace very long
Yes it's quite insane
I think it hurts my brain
But it cleans me out
And then I can go on

Well the wind is blowing harder now
Fifty knots or thereabouts
There's white caps on the ocean
And I'm watching for water spouts
It's time to close the shutters
It's time to go inside
In a week I'll be in gay Paris
And that's a mighty long airplane ride

And now I must confess
I could use some rest
I can't run at this pace very long
Yes it's quite insane
I think it hurts my brain
But it cleans me out
And then I can go on

same thing can be said about the stock market

there will always be employment for folks trying to predict future course of events

Monkeys aren't indigenous to Australia, which completely invalidates your statement.

Yeah, and you'd think that the "87 degrees is the normal for this time of year" that I always hear them say in mid-August would eventually scale up.

10/16/2007 7:10:11 AM

I think the averages are the 30-year normals from NCDC, so the temperature and rain is compared with 1971-2000 temperature and rain.

10/16/2007 9:49:08 AM

what was the last hurricane to hit America anyway? been too long, i want a fuckin hurricane

10/16/2007 9:52:21 AM

10/16/2007 10:58:08 AM

i actually wouldn't mind a couple days off work w/ the power out and grilling for every meal.

kinda like camping w/o having to set up a tent or sleep on the ground.

i've got a stockpile of "hurricane food" already, let's go.
