Unclear on the concept

From the Washington Post, an explanation of the forecasting embarrassment that was Snowquester:
Still, I blame the storm more than I blame the computer models.  The models are pretty good.  It’s Nature that messed this up.
H/t Watts Up with That, which adds the comment: "I hope he escapes from his alternate reality soon, people must be looking for him."

  2. The models are pretty good.

    I think they are, too, in their proper context. But the models should stay on the runways and catwalks; they're really not very good at weather. Or climate.

  3. "The weather isn’t the result of a deterministic process"

    The writer is making a pretty absolute statement about a pretty deep subject.

    It's possible that weather is entirely deterministic, but is still uncomputable beyond a certain time/accuracy tradeoff.
