I concur with Rivka: with all the data at NOAA's disposal, they can only make
educated guesses at the next five days or the next five months. Last year
their 48 hour and long range month-to-month was accurate - until November.
They seem to be scrambling ever since, at least for the Pacific Northwest.
Last fall they posted colder than normal and wetter for all winter. October
into November was colder. Then temps moderated and the promised precip. held
off until March. In that month we received a winter's worth of precip! Making
a living by playing Hold 'Em poker can't be as risky.

nafex Digest, Vol 111, Issue 12 worries about plantcares.com AND weather
forecast site to try&#58; accuweather.com&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; I am
highly dubious of a weather forecast three weeks in advance.
&#40;I&#39;m&#13;&#10;&#62; pretty dubious about the week in advance that
many sites have been up&#13;&#10;&#62; to for some time,
actually.&#41;&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; NOAA will give you a predicted
amount of precipitation for the next&#13;&#10;&#62; several days, either by
24 hour or by 6 hour periods&#58;&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62;

&#34;QPF&#34; partway down on the left&#41;&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; In
an area like mine, where it may pour on one farm and not on the
one&#13;&#10;&#62; half a mile down the road, all precipitation amounts need
to be taken&#13;&#10;&#62; with a large grain of
salt.&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; -- Rivka&#59; Finger Lakes

wrote&#58;&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; People might want to take a
look at accuweather.com. It seems that&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;
now&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; they have a forecast for something like 3 WEEKS in
the future&#33;&#33;&#33;&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; You see&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;
that by clicking on &#34;forecast&#34; and eventually on the word
&#34;month&#34;&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; near the&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; top of a
forecast that pops up. Additionally, when viewing the&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;
month, you&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; have a choice of &#34;view&#34; either being
like a calendar or being in&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; list form.&#13;&#10;&#62;
&#62; They show somewhat different info, so it&#39;s good to look at
both.&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; The list&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; view actually has
columns for AMOUNT of rainfall and snowfall&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;
predicted&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; rather than just the nebulous 20&#37; chance
of showers etc that I don&#39;t&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; find&#13;&#10;&#62;
&#62; terribly useful usually.&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62;
