Part of the problem with predicting a season that has never happened before, is even when you look at the numbers, there is no way you can externally justify your call without looking like you're wish casting.

I think we're still going to see weaker than normal shear throughout the season, along with warm waters that will lead to another extremely active season.

Right now, I'm thinking the following (to borrow rabbit's style)

January - April 1/0/0
May 1/0/0
June 2/1/0
July 4/2/1
August 4/3/2
September 5/3/2
October 3/1/1
November -December 2/1/0

22/11/6

As much as I want to say next season will be worse, I just can't bring myself to do it.

my gut feeling says to up all the 2005 numbers by 1 for 2006

Either way, my prediction is one I would be blad to be wrong!
