As the "owner and operator" of two toddlers myself, I can completely relate my friend, and am right there with you in the fog of war.
As for Chesco, like Training mentioned, he's merely posting his own observations, and from what I can tell the guy has some top line equipment and keeps meticulous records. I see very little, if anything, controversial about a guy posting once a day where he simply reports his own observations and gives a brief forecast for the days ahead. We can quibble about how he compares his data to that of warmer locations from the past, and that's fair game, but all in all the guy is harmless.
