Seth Next Winter, you will be praying for only 2" of snow. Not sure you remember the last time it snowed in Mobile, but it was 1996. And you would have thought all hell was freezing over with 2". Here is the map: 
Sounds like someone does some plowing on the side. Seth, you might want to get gulls number where your going. T |

Hey Tony, How many hurricanes did they predict for this year? I'd say they were a little off... As I recall the numbers were kinda high...
I think I, or anyone else can do just as well... Wray...  |

Depends on which outlook you wanted to count. NOAA predicted 17 storms, Dr Grey and his team predicted 19. I am really not a fan of these long range outlooks. As you have said before, you cant predict the weather accurately next week, how do you do it for the next 6 months. I dont think what alot of people realize is that the 2005 Hurricane season is widely regarded as a once in a lifetime event. There has no doubt been an increase in storms since 95, and that will continue, but you try and tell everyone exactly what mother nature will do, and you will only make yourself look foolish. The longest model forecast out to 15 days, and that is pretty much the longest I will trust. Anything longer than that, and you are better off going with the Farmers Almanac, or counting bands on wooly caterpillars. If I trust the wooly caterpillar, we have a rough winter ahead. T |

INDIAN WINTER IT WAS ALREADY LATE FALL AND THE INDIANS ON A REMOTE RESERVATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA ASKED THEIR NEW CHIEF IF THE COMING WINTER WAS GOING TO BE COLD OR MILD. SINCE HE WAS A CHIEF IN A MODERN SOCIETY HE HAD NEVER BEEN TAUGHT THE OLD SECRETS. WHEN HE LOOKED AT THE SKY HE COULDN'T TELL WHAT THE WINTER WAS GOING TO BE LIKE. NEVERTHELESS, TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, HE TOLD HIS TRIBE THAT THE WINTER WAS INDEED GOING TO BE COLD AND THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE VILLAGE SHOULD COLLECT FIREWOOD TO BE PREPARED. BUT BEING A PRACTICAL LEADER, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS HE GOT AN IDEA. HE WENT TO THE PHONE BOOTH, CALLED THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND ASKED, "IS THE COMING WINTER GOING TO BE COLD?" "IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WINTER IS GOING TO BE QUITE COLD," THE METEOROLOGIST AT THE WEATHER SERVICE RESPONDED. SO THE CHIEF WENT BACK TO HIS PEOPLE AND TOLD THEM TO COLLECT EVEN MORE FIREWOOD IN ORDER TO BE PREPARED. A WEEK LATER HE CALLED THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AGAIN. "DOES IT STILL LOOK LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY COLD WINTER?" "YES," THE MAN AT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AGAIN REPLIED, "IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY COLD WINTER." THE CHIEF AGAIN WENT BACK TO HIS PEOPLE AND ORDERED THEM TO COLLECT EVERY SCRAP OF FIREWOOD THEY COULD FIND. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHIEF CALLED THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AGAIN. "ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT THE WINTER IS GOING TO BE VERY COLD?" "ABSOLUTELY," THE MAN REPLIED. "IT'S LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE COLDEST WINTERS WE'VE EVER SEEN." "HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?" THE CHIEF ASKED. THE WEATHERMAN REPLIED, "THE INDIANS ARE COLLECTING FIREWOOD LIKE CRAZY." |
