Hi Chris, I agree with what you say. Many people tend to instantly react on what a model run with either excitement or disappointment without further investigation. Focusing on one run (say the 12z output) is a good idea but like an addict, I tend to view every output (0,6,12,18z) in the winter. In the summer, I am more likely to just view one output a day as I don't find the weather as interesting. Karyo
