#2 Joe Bastardi *used* to be the am weatherman for WMAL in DC. I never found him to be either funny or accurate, though not for lack of trying. As it is, DC has had its share of hurricanes lately. The last big one left the lights out for two months in some parts of town, but fortunately Fred saved the sandbags for the Rantburg server, "just in case".

#3 Probably flood the Big Dig and cost us a couple hundred billion.

#4 I thought destroying the Big Dig would save money?

#5 They crooks up there in Boston are no dummies - they can see how the NO crowd is milking us. Probably terminally jealous - they have two insane Senators who enjoy juicy committee assignments and no ethics to bellow for them... The Big Dig would become the most important thing EVER, lol.

#6 I was in Boston when Hurricane Bob came through. The coast got hit pretty bad but the only thing we got in Boston was a lot of rain and a bit of gusty wind. On the elevator next day I heard someone say, "Is that all there is to a hurricane? i was really wanting to see something". I thought about dope slaping him but held back.

#7 cmon, somebody has to say it, "Bastardi". Refreshing to see a weird name that isn't Islamic.

#8 The 2006 hurricane season will be more active than normal--

What are they basing this on?

My dad was watching FoxNews last year and a weather guy came on, said the pattern's going back to the 50s and 60s, up the eastern seaboard.

After he said that, my dad started remembering. Yup, there were hurricanes up the seaboard back then.

50 years from now, yada, yada, yada, Gulf of Mexico, more active.

#9 About 6 years ago, I worked with someone who was nearly finished w/ his PhD in weather modelling from Penn State. IIRC, AccuWeather's predictions are based on that model. At the time, at least, it was considered by far the most accurate and detailed one out there.

Bastardi likes to mug, but the longterm prediction about hurricane seasons is based IIUC on things like relative ocean temps and current locations. Things that don't change from week to week, but do shift from year to year and affect the temp/humidity of the air above.

FWIW ... ;-)
