Challenge "authority"!

Despite the forecast of overnight lows around the freezing mark, it never got below 43.3 degrees at the Aerie and was 41 in Elmira/Corning this AM.

If meteorologists can't get within 10 degrees on the overnight forecast (provided as late as 10 PM), tell me again why we should trust climatologists to accurately forecast 1 degree (F) changes over a century?

That is an excellent point!

Well, let's consider the alternative: if we knew everything ahead of time, there would be no surprises in life. I'd find that horribly boring, I think.

Take yesterday, for example. We were supposed to get 1" of snow in town, with up to 4" on the hillside. We got 9". Surprise!

And I'll wager that, having just removed your studded snow tires last week, you were thrilled with that surprise package!
