David Appell thought he was being clever, and stepped in it pretty deep.

Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Idiot. (not you, Steve).
Well the one he showed, down town Denver still has -4(F) so I am not sure what the heck he was thinking…
Maybe he thinks -8 F isn’t cold???
“Ladies and gentleman, rarely are you privileged to see such levels of stupidity.”
hahahahhahhahahahhaahhaha
He thinks -8F isn’t -8F. That is because Hansen hasn’t adjusted it yet.
Adjustments until night temps count as day temps. At least they’ll be the real temps of something.
Good one.
David who?
I have checked the forecast for which David Appell provided the link.
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=denver,%20co&wuSelect=WEATHER
5-Day Forecast for ZIP Code 80002
Local Time: 4:06 AM MST (GMT -07)
Partly Cloudy
Saturday 7° C | -6° C
Snow
Sunday -3° C | -11° C
Snow
Monday -9° C | -19° C
Partly Cloudy
Tuesday -11° C | -18° C
Partly Cloudy
Wednesday -4° C | -8° C
DA wrote “Besides, it’s absurd to think the the high temp in Denver would be -8 F.”
I agree! The Tuesday high is forecast at -11° C.
I do not think that Steve Goddard made a big error. I think it is DA who is wrong.
In case DA does not approve this comment, it shall be posted on Steve’s site, so that the author’s mendacious calumnies are not conveniently ignored.
I saw the Weather Channel is forecasting “bitter cold” in the middle of the US from Canada all the way down to New Mexico. Denver is included. But not in the world of David Appell, whoever he is.
I posted on his website pointing out his error.
It is still in moderation over an hour later. So much for transparency.
It might have been middle of the night there when you posted it.
True!
I’ll give him few hours more.
Lunch time in Oregon and still no answer.
Now after lunch and the little wimp still has not posted my comment.
I’m off to bed now.
Still my comment is not posted.
He obviously does not like to admit he is wrong.
Paul H,
Appell is in Oregon, about 8 hours behind the UK. At 6 a.m. there, he’s probably just stirring.
That sounds ominous
Appell’s MO is hit pieces on other people to make himself feel better about himself, but he doesn’t even rise to the level of ankle biter, I generally ignore him.
Oh should have added: watch now, he’ll take umbrage and launch some new attack on his website.
Who is David Appell?
Mr. Appell might have avoided putting his foot in his mouth had he set his Weather Underground preferences to display both °F and °C simultaneously. I do that to prevent any scale confusions.
See this screencap of that output, which clears up this issue nicely:

Steve feel free to post this image in the main body.

This post has likely quintupled his monthly traffic. I’m sure Google will be calling with an offer.
An Appell a day keeps intelligence at bay.
