hahahahahahaha Try taking a boat up to a category 5 hurricane with winds up to 155+ mphs.... Then you'll realize how dumb that statement made you look..

They don't need to go right up close to it to notice its effects. lrn2vision

I was only responding to his boat comment.

For the week, maybe.  For the next 24-36 hours, the weatherman is pretty close more often than not.

Did you know that, statistically, saying "Tomorrow's weather will be like as today's" is still more accurate locally than the most advanced supercomputer predictions?

Carry on.

Actually the Carib Storm-God Hu ru kan creates these satellite versions of his swirling wrath to wreak havoc upon we mere mortals.

All contrary argument is therefore moot. So, get wet and get bent!

or that the Earth is a sphere until such time as I stand upon the Icewall and personally see that it is a Flat Disk.

This is a simple statistics problem used to teach people the dangers of making blind inferences from statistics.  At it's simplest, you treat it as 'Will it rain here tomorrow?', then compare the results of the supercomputer and the previous-day technique. Do it yourself over a couple of months - you may be surprised by the results!

In other words you just make that up.  That's what I thought.

Then it's a good thing that the weather models run on those supercomputers predict a lot more that just "is it going to rain here tomorrow?"  I don't know about where you live, but where I live the weather can get pretty psychotic and/or schizophrenic sometimes.

Ireland was part of the UK til not so long ago - we still share a common insane weather system ;)

Indeed we do!  Though don't suggest to any of the died-in-the-wool nationalists I know (I'm English, so I get ranted at a lot) that Ireland shares anything with the UK.

Heaven forbid we might actually have something in common.  Fucking retards.
