Hey Chris, a little writers block this week, eh? Yeah, I hate when that happens, but next time, just go play a round of golf. You'll find lots of things to write about afterwards which are more interesting than a friggin weatherman.

It's a funny thing, but the people who complain most vociferously about the inaccuracy of weather forecasts are usually the same ones who say that they could never understand physics. One only wishes that they had a humility commensurate with their ignorance. The earth's atmosphere and oceans together constitute the most complex dynamical system imaginable, so that the prediction of how a situation will evolve over time is probably the most daunting computational problem in science. The most suprising about meteorology is that it is as accurate as it is. No-one expects an investment expert to be able to predict exactly where the Dow will be a few days from now, but everyone thinks that the weatherman should be able to tell them exactly how much rain to expect on the weekend. The current cliched paradigm for intellectual complexity is to say that something "is not rocket science": it should be "it's not meteorology". After all, the calculations for the moon landings were carried out on machines with the computational power of todays pocket calculators.

Judging from the amount of 10-dollar words he kept chucking around and his apparent salivation drip during his description of meterology, we can confidently conclude that Ian is either a weatherman, or a wanna-be backyard weatherman.
Ian, a word of friendly advice...drop your barometer, pick up a 5-iron and get thee to a Muni!
