Not just now but it was rocking us in the October and November forecasts. It busted spectacularly. LR models aren’t very accurate...even the best ones.
This was the point of my discussion a few weeks ago concerning LR and MR threads. Climate models, and LR sensible weather models are so often wrong to the point of using them for anything serious makes a forecast more inaccurate. One could probably do better using the George Costanza method and picking the opposite of what they say. It almost seems like flipping a coin has better odds.
