If you’ve visited the Moody Gardens Aquarium in Galveston, then you know one of the first exhibits you come to is the tuxedo-clad penguins, diving and jumping and waddling in their 45° paradise.

I’ve blogged about Dale Link’s forecasting for hurricanes before: rather than forecasting HOW MANY hurricanes we will have in a given season, Dale forecasts the likeliest landfalls. His claim is that hurricane strength storms will pass through his forecast zones a little more than half the time. Last year, however, didn’t work out (thank goodness) as planned.
