Ok here is one of those good ole which one is going to be right Albany's Channel 13 or Channel 6. As of right now the forcast for January 19th is..

WNYT Channel 13 High Temp 45

WRGB Channel 6 High Temp 36

So who is going to be right?

[archbishop]

holy crap, thats a huge range
although im in WNY im gonna bet on channel 6
over here we are only gonna have a high of 26

[butch76]

Probably neither of them.  It will more likely be 10 degrees and snow.

I'm gonna go with WRGB, because Bob "eternally tanned" Kovachick really bugs me.  Plus, it's colder.

Magically the temp on 13 is now 40 for next Thursday and 44 for Friday the betting can now continue.

In defense of this town's meteorologists, the capital district's weather is extremely difficult to predict...we have two major river valleys that converge. They run completely perpendicular to each other, and they are surrounded by three different plateau areas. (Adirondacks, Catskills, Taconics/Berkshires). Don't forget the Great Lakes to the west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast.

I would prefer -30 for about three days.

No, not really, just a 9 degree difference between computer models.  The modern weatherman is nothing more than a person that reports on what a computer says is most likely to happen.  The real scientist is the guy writing the computer programs, which just take account of tendencies.

Hey cowgirl nice calves

Now that is funny!

 I believe that a forecast for 7 days away is about 5% accurate. Beyond that, is impossible. I generally don't believe anything past 3 or 4 days.
