Weekend Weather Forecasting

[GLIDEANGLE 1]

McGraw’s Postulate

The probability of jump-able weather for an individual on a weekend is:

. . . . J/(DF)

Where:

J = Number of career jumps
D = Number of days since last jump
F = High temp on preceding Wednesday in degrees F.

(Yes, at the extremes, this formula will result in invalid results such as dividing by zero or a probability >1.0. It is a joke.)

The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

if I did it correctly I came up with about 13% seems low

j=58
d=6
f=73

My basic rule is to not pass on any nice Saturday, so that I keep the D factor as low as possible.

Jim, also note that (number of jumps in past 30 days)/D is some type of happy factor number as well.

J=0...

Crap, never mind that then.

If you gonna give me the bowling speech, you might just come out and say it.
