Predictions for the coming 2010-11 winter season.

I just love it when the experts forecast the weather for a coming season. What bold men and women they must be! This is especially true of the winter season when Mother Nature makes fools of us all. Like the folks who make up those horoscopes in the daily papers, a careful analysis would reveal that they actually reveal nothing much at all. When a statement is made like, ‘the Midwest will be calmer than last year’, they always are sure to back this up with, ‘but don’t count out the occasional blizzard.’

Having said that, the weather map released by AccuWeather.com could be better than most. Chief Long-Range Meteorologist Joe Bastardi is fairly well credentialed and I think has a pretty well developed sixth sense, so perhaps he is fairly close.
