So much for Millenium Weather

From the website

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to a conflict of interest with a new employer Millennium Weather can no longer provide forecasts, seasonal or storm-specific. We regret any inconvenience and plan to adapt this web site to provide other information and resources. Work is already underway for this and we hope to implement some of the resources during the early part of the 2006 hurricane season. Please check back.

Or should I have said your in-depth analysis. (?) :oops:

Edit: I didn't mean any offense, Downdraft (if any was taken). I hate to see that happen. Good luck with the future of the site.

Hey it's not MY site at all. Just another site I use to get some info from time to time. I always thought he did a good job of analysis. I just posted it for those that used it. No offense taken at all in fact, I'm flattered.

Ok, whew *wipes forehead*. :lol:

I'd gotten the impression that people didn't care a whole lot about MW the last few years....had an odd writing style, and refused to hype storms. Generally did a decent job forecasting and explained things pretty well for non-meteorologists (did a much better job of that than, say, JB.)

A big problem is people got confused by his TRANTECH model (which really isn't much use) and didn't understand Gary's actual orecast usually differed from TRANTECH - I think a lot of people were just looking at TRANTECH and not reading the discussions.

Guy has to be recognized as a pioneer; I believe Millenium Weather started tropical discussions back in 1995 - at that time there was basically NOTHING on the internet other than NWS products (Which were public, but the discussions were still labled not for public distribution, oddly.) Learned a lot back then from him.
