I seem to recall that 2 SUB-tropical systems received names. Also, to get good representative data, it would be good to look into the duration/persistence of the storms — i.e., how long did they exist as tropical systems. My IMPRESSION is that this year, while we have had more storms than last year, has seen storms of short duration/ life span.

I infer you are tyring to imply their forecast was not far off. I would counter that the naming of 2 sub-tropical systems (IIRC) made them look better than actual, AND that the total storm-days was less than last year, per storm. Just a guess on that last part.

NET: They over-estimated the number, intensity and impact of the storm season, again. Their models need work ;-)

p.s. my dad, a 1940’s-era military-educated meteorologist, has correctly called the storm season so far. hmmmmmm

Maybe, but what good is that?

We're not looking for accuracy, we're looking for loyalty to, and promotion of the CAUSE.

Now, if your dad came out and said that the REASON we're having a sub-par number of storms is GW, then we might have something.

Until that happens.... Forget it.
