Enviro Canada/Weather Channel ... NO FROST... and Drew called FROST???

[JDGreen]

Oxymoron Haha i guess so. But that's how its
been this year. I do marvel at drew however. In
July he had said frost date would be near
normal tending to slightly earlier. He nailed it by
4 days early of our average frost date here.

Same here JD. Thing that gets me is the comments that Enviro Canada is so underfunded. What a crock of b/s. I would bet my left nut that Enviro Cans budget is about 10x Drew Learners.

[LWeber]

Enviro Can: budget for 2011/12 is 1.056 billion...

Staff = 6,000

Drew's staff = no more than 5 full and part time.

How many on CWB weather staff?

Weather forecasting is at the best a GUESS based on weather conditions hundreds and thousands of miles away. The factors used in these forecasts can change quickly and throw everyone's forecast out of whack.

Blaming weather services for not forecasting frosts or whatever is pointless and asinine to say the least.

There are NO absolutes no matter what service one uses.

Wilagro,

Drew, isn't right year after year by accident. His ability to forcast the weather is only surpassed by his honesty about the Junk Science that global warming is based on!

I specifically did not grow lentils based on Drews forcast. Drew probably saved us $100,000 on that... plus the Canola upgrade in grades because we trusted his first frost date!

[tman]

So what is Drew's accuracy? You guys are making me think he's 90 % right on his predictions. Is he the Wayne Gretzky of meterologists? If so, what does he have that no one or so many others do not?

[TOM4CWB]

tman,

Common Sense. The sun and earths oceans are the key to our weather. Flares and sun spots... a lag in solar strength is calculated in. I understand Drew uses deep ocean temps in addition to ocean surface temps to predict future weather.
