Tim Rogers, With Help of Mystery Forecaster, Predicts Snow for Dallas Next Week

This is the shakiest prediction in the history of meteorology. But here’s the thing: I have a friend who follows some unnamed sports blog (behind a pay wall) on which a regular commenter often makes weather predictions. This commenter will oftentimes point out that he doesn’t trust our local forecasters, who, he says, use some computer models that fail us under certain circumstances. For instance, you’ll recall that a week or so prior to the Big Snow, our local forecasters were saying we wouldn’t get much white stuff, and the stuff we did get wasn’t going to stick. Our Mystery Forecaster said our local weatherfolk were wrong. And they were.

Well, now our Mystery Forecaster is calling for a “significant snow event” for the middle of next week. You heard it here first. Or you heard it on that unnamed sports blog first. Whatever. (Note: If it doesn’t snow like crazy next week, I’m deleting this post.)
