I frequently both weather sites and enjoy them both a lot. I do wish FOX4 would blog more often, in fact, kudos to Joe, he really stepped up to the plate with us bloggers during this last storm and that is awesome.

AS for the LRC, I'm not 100% convinced. I'm not saying there is a cycle or is not a cycle. I'm not skilled enough in metorology to figure out either way. I like 99.99999% of the folks using the blog just a arm-chaired weather guy. There have been a few people who have asked question to gary about his theory which for the most part he repeat's the same line: A pattern sets up between blah blah yada yada yada.. One guy, "notes_in_the_margin" ( or something like that ) said once that if you took a map per map look at a time frame there was obvously not a pattern, yet Gary claimed there is, and the fan base will blast you if question it. Gary has yet allow a good peer review of this theory, and until he does, it would probably be best that us arm-chaired folks quit trying to flame both stations.  

You people (fans of weather) are going to have to clam da flip down! This last week some moron was blasting Mike and Joe left and right for everything they did, and this is a HUGE distraction from getting important information. Most of us KNOW that forecasts change frequently when more information comes in, Mike and Joe know that they may have to change a forecast 24 hours later because that is how this game is played, but posting hate on a blog doesn't help anybody. I want their expert opinions, regardless if its something I want to hear or not. I want to be able to get expert opionion from the competition, regardless of what a arm-chair weather person says.

The point I'm trying to make, before you post your flippid ignorance on a blog space blasting a weather person, THINK about what your typing, because Joedirt, you did NOTHING but look like a complete retard on this blog. I can't possibly understand your logic because your complaint flip-floped more than the forecast did by all stations, your only goal was complain to mike and joe about their jobs because this blog gives you the ability to have them actually read your drivel..

I couldn't have said this better myself. I think that one of the reasons the FOX team doesn't blog quite so much is because of the trolls. It really takes away from the enjoyment of the blog when you have to sift through all of that junk.

"It is the third time through the cycle that we can really firm up the exact length, so we will just use 53 to 57 days as our first guess"--I'm sorry, but using that large of a span and then calling it a 'guess' does very little to lend credence to a theory you are trying to prove....

Kind of like a 3 degree warranty...+3 -3... we are talking a 7 degree span.. As we saw yesterday that's a huge span of error..

No kidding. A couple of degrees cooler, and yesterday would have been 2002 all over again.

"We are now thinking that Kansas City will be near 29 degrees for the duration, rising one or two degrees, and then falling one or two degrees on Tuesday afternoon. "--this was posted Monday afternoon.

"Warmer air is trying to move in, but 31 is probably about as high as it is going to go"--this was posted Monday night.

"temperatures may rise to near 32 degrees overnight. And, if you have been following our blog we thought this could happen"--this was posted Tuesday morning.

It's this revisionary blogging that they do that really irks me....
