I'll just move to Iowa where's it gonna be paradise pretty soon! Why, is Jay moving? Seriously, you seem to fail to undersnd what this is all about. it's not about a slightly balmier climate. It's about a good deal more energy being involved in the wx. Whatever else may happen, that is certain. Bertie You're right that I am failing. I am failing to agree with those who insist that the oceans will rise 20 feet, the 0.6 Degree rise we see is solely due to man made causes, and that the earth is unable to regulate the temperature through natural processes. I'm also failing to agree that when the Climate change apostles preach, "All the world's scientists agree," but when anyone dares offer contrary opinion, they are pilloried as "not climate scientists." You fly in weather -- when the hell did a "scientist" ever get it right 50% of the time? In fact, that's another laughable trait of this latest "crisis" -- it is the first time in science history that "all scientist agree." Dan |

My flight logs come with forecast winds for every waypoint. they are generaly within 10degrees and 5 knots of forecast hours form when the forecast was made. Vis, winds, precip, are all forecast to an accuracy that would have been thought impossible just a few years ago. Bertie From which source? I've yet to see winds aloft match the forecast except when very strong (40 Knots @ 3000) or very light. That said, I think the effect of the local topography is not factored in or perhaps ignored (The Alleghenies). Dan |

Moi, Ich, myself with my own eyes. I've yet to see winds aloft match the forecast except when very strong (40 Knots @ 3000) or very light. Well, what can I tel you, must be a denier serivce you're using. That said, I think the effect of the local topography is not factored in or perhaps ignored (The Alleghenies). Mine are for high alt. The wx service wont tell you the wind at the top of every peak, that's YOUR job to extrapolate. They could if they were so inclined, though. Bertie |

I know what my job is -- thanks, and therefore how to extrapolate. Dan |

Bertie The errors are in velocity as well as direction, and far above "every peak." I used winds aloft as one example -- if you're going to assert that current weather forecasting is 90% exact, I wanna know what service your using. And that's forecast -- not observation. Dan |
