One thing I've discovered here on-station is that Australian Bureau of Meteorology (the US equivalent of the National Weather Service) is good at one thing: historical recording of the weather. When it comes to actually forecasting the weather they appear to have only two predictions, which are "completely wrong" and "partially wrong". This is particularly true when it 
comes to predicting rain, where the perception is that the BOM is accurate only 50% of the time. And this in a country where rain is so critical! To put it in other words, you could flip a coin and be just as accurate.Hm. Wonder if I could get paid as a meterologist here? All I'd need is a website and a coin and I'd be set!
