Lies, Damn Lies and Internet Cheese

Victoria has taken the daredevil plunge and gone ahead with an Internet Cheese order. Sure, we've all dreamed of it, but she was the only one with the guts to actually do it.

Stilton. From Amazon.

Verdict?

Not so hot.

Meanwhile, it's been close to 100 degrees here (at the highest) for the past four days. Weather.com is pitching the following lies:

	Weather.com	Wunderground.com	Weatherbug.com	Actual
Mon	79	95	96	93
Tue	73	85	86	79
Wed	71	79	79	80
Thur	66	74	74	70
Fri	65	76	76	59
Sat	59	40-60ish	72	62

So, I'm supposed to believe that the high is going to drop 20 degrees tomorrow and 40 degrees by Saturday? Weatherbug seems the most reasonable, and Wunderground is pretty close except they're angling for a potentially even colder Saturday.

I'm going to update this daily with the actual high, just for giggles.

Plus, I'm going to install freakin' central air. Global coldening ain't comin' fast enough.

UPDATE #1: Interesting. I was going to rag on Weather.com for being wildly inaccurate. And they were for the first day. Note all the guesses--er, scientific predictions--are off. Today was markedly cooler (hallelujah!) and right in the middle of the predictions. Intriguingly enough, while Weather.com was closer for today, they actually changed their predictions yesterday to match those on Weatherbug and Wunderground, so if you went looking Monday for the temps on Tuesday, they would have been farther off than the Sunday predictions!

UPDATE #2: It was warmer today than all three predicted, but not by much. And it got warmer. This makes the 60-degree target for Saturday seem unlikely.

UPDATE #3: Well, this wasn't particularly enlightening. It's interesting, I guess, that weather.com had the cold starting a day early than it did and peaking a day later than it did. The other two sort of played it conservative, which worked all right until the sudden drop on the weekend.

CONCLUSION: I guess I'll probably stick with poking my head out the window and guessing.
