The winter forecast would not be considered short range, as it goes out 3 months. But it sucked nevertheless. Then, of course there are so many weasel words in their short range forecasts that they can seldom be completely wrong. They shouldn’t be blowing their own horn one way or another.
Steve, I didn’t read the caption on the top. Sorry about that.
