It’s cover all bases programming. There is no help for those who deny that. Not saying that you do.
Observing and documenting weather and outcomes for 50 years goes well beyond the results of model sampling examples.
When a delay pattern takes over it rarely reverses. I certainly was here when in mid to late Nov the examples showed pattern change mid Dec, then Christmas, then end of month, then first few days of Jan, now moving toward mid Jan. Get to about 1/10 and it’s game over. A 10” in mid Feb is not saving winter. Delayed but not denied is really mostly delayed and in denial. 360 day examples are worth jack shit, 240 much the same. “Guidance” is a euphemism for clueless .
