I would think the models would learn from this. Or the forecasters. Do you think a baseline forecast of 'overcast, light rain' every day would outperform the local forecasters.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041902355794062651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-30435684303422945022011-06-08T22:21:45.143-07:002011-06-08T22:21:45.143-07:00Thanks for the quick response Cliff.
That was wha...Thanks for the quick response Cliff.<br /><br />That was what I kind of suspected, but it seemed a little un-scientific to me.

I think tying together the idea of why Math knowledge is so important to the Weather, practical applications in life, and other ideas you yourself can conjure. I believe this might be a way to show people how our kids have been left behind in the world. It helps the blue collar element watching the 10 o'clock news get concerned and want to do something. The Kahn Academy is a great resource for my kids, and wouldn't it be great if you did something similar, only more locally-since all of us care about the region and our success. Anyway, that's my two cent's, really miss hearing you on Friday's and am so pissed at Steve, and Katie.Ronaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037893981396198512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-55124180800248459012011-06-08T18:31:45.536-07:002011-06-08T18:31:45.536-07:00Do you have a longer term outlook for July/August/...Do you have a longer term outlook for July/August/September?

What causes different types of rain?<br /> Yesterday morning as I was walking my dog along the water in Bellingham, the fine mist rain was like walking into a hose sprayer set on mist. I am used to getting wet in the morning, but rarely see this type of rain. What causes it?cornbreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106492006188662532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-66097225478089967962011-06-07T10:27:10.786-07:002011-06-07T10:27:10.786-07:00Where was the Protest March of the vast masses tha...Where was the Protest March of the vast masses that support the KUOW position ? ;-)Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378008305539753101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-83154799110767456732011-06-07T09:46:01.453-07:002011-06-07T09:46:01.453-07:00Very nice Q13/Fox vid Professor Mass! short and ge...Very nice Q13/Fox vid Professor Mass! short and gets the clear point across to the casual viewer.<br /><br />(unrelated to this...) as an amateur weather fan lacking instruments I write myself a lot of scripting language tools (python mostly) to follow the weather by making infrequent unburdensome (that's important, i feel) pulls of data off the web.
