    Colorado State University nailed it. 2016 will see normal activity of 12 tropical storms with five becoming hurricanes and two of them being category 3 or higher. Their accurate predictions of the last several years should remove any doubt. We have this weather forecasting down solid. Right? :)

    And I predict that McDonald’s will still be serving Big Macs next month.

      Yes, English can be weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though. (Full disclosure: I was not creative enough to come up with that yet I believe your post was original, so kudos to you!! :)

        actually, it is from the children’s book called the Phantom Tollbooth

          Cool. Thanks for the info, Colorado. 2 minutes into learning about it for the first time, it looks like a pretty entertaining book (maybe more so for the kids, but I like wordplay too! :)

      Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. Thanks for sharing. Whether we wanted to hear so or not.

    And I predict that beer and wine sales will go up at Walmart with the first named storm that will remotely come close to the coast.

    “Klotzback said the lack of an El Nino isn’t an absolute guarantee there will be more storms. Going back to 1950, the years following strong El Ninos have produced everything from few storms to very active seasons.

    “If you use that as your guideline, you get no useful information,” he said”

    That pretty much sums up the usefulness of this article.

        Dave, how about that? These guys have been so far off on their predictions, they rival our local weatherman who grins at the camera after he misses and says, well, I told you there was only a 40% chance of storms.

          it would be more surprising if it rained when there was less than a 50% chance of rain, but i’d wager you don’t understand what that metric really means anyway.

            And you would be absolutely correct. He has made statements showing he doesn’t understand what the probability behind weather forecasts mean, and he has repeatedly refused to explain what he thinks they mean, or his statements. He used to say all the time that The Farmers Almanac was more accurate than weather forecasts, even after multiple posts by me showing that wasn’t true. Rush must not be pushing that lately, because he rarely says it anymore. He’s living in a fact-free world, wrong about everything.

          Ahh shucks, Agent. That local Longview weatherman of yours, he’s a real hoot, isn’t he? Now pass me the spittoon so I don’t dribble on my boots.
