You know when you know how to do something the right way, yet you do it the wrong way and it fails? Then because you are stubborn, you do it again and it fails again. Then you get anoyed and do it the right way and it works?

Yeah that kind of night.

I just had a heated exchange with the mods, and a few posters at the other board. I should stop posting there but I can't :mad::(

I did, and I don’t miss it. Thought I would but I don’t! There’s a reason why a lot of veteran posters leave that board, it’s not an anomaly.

Never thought I'd say this. I'm ready for Summer.
 
I'm feeling good after reading that post Webber made in the winter thread and decided to make a poem. Lol.
Winter will enter and return with force
The past few years we were desperate and left with remorse
This year is different, heck we already see blocking
Miller A storms and a -NAO will come a knocking
December will be cold no 70s at all
Christmas will feel like winter not summer or fall
This winter will rock and bring gifts to all!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
 
Waiting on confirmation from Euro! Will the Turkey Day blast actually happen????? Stay tuned !
 
I can't remember the last time the south was forecast to have a cold winter. Seems like every year the forecast is for a warm winter.
 
All, as I have mentioned on here several times, I work for a major natural gas (actually a lot more than just natural gas but I am in a Pipeline) company. Over the years it has become widely known that I am a devout "weather weenie", so I have been asked many questions about future weather. I have made several recommendations to upper management and have actually been correct more times than not. That is thanks in no small part to a lot of what I read and learn hear. The especially tend to remember when what I told them happens and it is opposite what they heard on the TV or radio.
Well, today I was invited to a meeting next Wednesday, 11/15, with my VP and the Office of the Chair in our company to hear a presentation on mitigating financial risks with Weather Derivatives. I did not even know there was such a thing. I am trying to read everything I can about this. I can't imagine there is tool that can accurately project future weather trends and enable you to purchase these derivatives to mitigate risk to the point the savings outweigh the cost. Anyway, does anyone on here have any experience with this? If so, please share.
 
Here’s a picture of my dogs and I enjoying the fall foliage yesterday.
