Debbie, your post is fine.

Some of you who are new to the site seem to be attempting to Moderate the site with your comments. On CFHC we leave that task to the Administrators and Moderators. If you see something that you believe to be inappropriate, just send a PM to one of the site officials and they will take any appropriate action. On this board, we do not slam the poster. Its okay to disagree with a post, but if you do, you must state why you disagree and try to do it in a positive way rather than a negative one.

Wishcasting is not allowed - period. If you comment based on a model output, that is not wishcasting. If you disagree with the model outputs and explain 'why' you disagree with some realistic insight, that also is not wishcasting.

On CFHC, the meteorologists and experienced storm trackers base their assessments on their knowledge of atmospheric dynamics. We'll always do our best to let you know if something is heading your way - and most of the time we tend to agree with the guidelines provided by the NHC forecasts. At an age of about 150 years (maybe), Meteorology is a VERY young natural science - and therefore it is a long way from being accurate, so be a little understanding when something doesn't quite pan out as expected. Its still more of an art form rather than a science - but we're working on it and it will require patience on our part - and yours.
