Interesting article posted by Joel Gratz on OPensnow about how a meteorology class looked at how weather forecasts of various lengths of time in the future performed against reality. They just looked at temperature predictions. They found that forecasts of more than about 10- 11 days in the future are less accurate than just taking the historical average temperature for that day!
I wonder if anyone has done this with snow or rain forecasts. Tony?
