But we failed: Peaks were lost in the clouds and the sky was spitting snow at 7,000 feet Sunday, so we came home a day early. No bargain.Anselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835758313287462921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-90687127176397764432013-05-27T12:48:56.648-07:002013-05-27T12:48:56.648-07:00We're meeting friends at Folklife at 3:30 pm t...We're meeting friends at Folklife at 3:30 pm today (Monday) so your prediction of drying out by 2-3 pm makes me very happy! We do expect it to rain at least some at Folklife; we went Saturday from 7:30-10:30, and true to form, light drizzle started around 9:30 and then it picked up a bit until about 10:15, when it got lighter again. <br />Who cares? Folklife is still fun with some rain as it's rarely cold enough this weekend to be truly uncomfortable. :-) We've only had one year (2009, I believe) without measurable rain during Folklife in the 14 years I've been going, so it seems normal to have at least some. Folklife has many indoor venues and I enjoy the "thinning of the herd" that happens when it starts to rain at the festival....JewelyaZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434569437851248356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-74684145333450861962013-05-26T12:07:46.429-07:002013-05-26T12:07:46.429-07:00You say: "State-of-the-art forecasting is not...You say: "State-of-the-art forecasting is not dependent on one model prediction."<br /><br />If the "European Center model (ECMWF), [is] the gold standard"<br />why was it not mentioned in your Thursday prediction for the weekend?
