Couple of guys from back around 2005 will remember this
Joe B was an emerging star. Very enthusiastic he went for couple big events and nailed them and quickly garnered an increasing following
Then came the Vodka Cold debacle where, whatever year it was, from mid December to mid February he continually touted the Vodka Cold pouring into eastern USA in just 10-15 days. It never happened and many temperature predictions ended up off by over 20 degrees. That began the ending of my model interest beyond 7 days which continues to this day.
Now in 2006-07 the advertised pattern change did come in Feb and a good job was done in 2009/10 correctly predicting a return to cold and snow after a tepid January. So, a job really well done twice in 15 years. Can’t take those numbers to the bank
