Winter forecasting.

I've found that in winter, judging the day by the high temperature is pretty much irrelevant. The high temp for the day is usually between 11-3. Not a very long window to be planning your attire for. Really, if you're going to be doing any walking, or waiting for public transit, or anything like that, the low is the much more important number.

I left the house this morning, and it was 9. The high was in the 30s, but if only 4 hours of the day are anywhere near that number, then it doesn't really do us any good.

Unless of course the high is in the single digits, in which case you're fucked no matter what.
