Summer still tries to crash into the calendar. Temperatures continue to be below the seasonal norm. So the forecasters say.
I've come to the conclusion that sportswriters and sports broadcasters possess a more faulty forecast ability. Despite the cliches about changing coaches, in the final four of the Stanley Cup chase, three of the four National Hockey League teams involved had coaching changes this very year.
Further, none of those teams were placed in a possible playoff position at the points of the transitions. The only consistent forecaster in the pantheon of sports "experts" still remains Bob McCowen of the Fan590. Not that he is an expert but he gains in percentages by simply being a contrary cuss. For instance, he forecast the Jays to finish with 90 wins this season.
So when knocking the weather forecasters simply remember that if they go, the weather will be done by sports experts. And that would be true climatic horror.

I beg to differ.
When they're being careful, weather forecasters are correct one hundred percent of the time.
After all, if you predict there's a ten percent chance of rain and it doesn't rain, you're perfectly correct. If, on the other hand it rains, you're still perfectly correct.
Sports forecasters could learn a thing or two from weather forecasters.
