The following statement in the article seems questionable, especially based on forecasts for the 2005 hurricane season: "He has become well-known for his surprisingly accurate long-range forecasts."

Accuweather just got some free publicity on the Bob King blog for their 2006 hurricane season forecast, in spite of their inaccurate mid-season 2005 forecast ( http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/southeast/2005/07/28/57684.htm? ) Margie 18:52, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


"...believe you should forecast whatever you feel at that moment..." Is inaccurate. Much studying of weather maps and other meteorological data by Mr. Bastardi OR any other forecaster who really makes a forecast i.e., “forecast for Northern NJ is for 10 to 15 inches of snow” is more than the nonsense statement “at the moment”.
