First paragraph: "During October the global winds, pressure and temperature-patterns across the Northern Hemisphere gravitate towards their winter states, which they will tend to retain until late March."
That's one hell of a broad assumption imo. I thought the whole point of attempts at winter forecasts was to estimate (or, to be honest, guess) whether and when the current state of the atmosphere might change before late March.
Not so sure that the stats quoted for his summer forecast are much of a recommendation either. When you get the month of the forecast closest to your start time wrong, then any success in the following months is surely down to luck.
I apologize for knocking the guy like this, because there's an awful lot of good material collected together there in his posts. I'm just not sure whether he's doing anything particularly useful with it.
But as always, I'd be more than glad to be shown why I'm wrong.
