Writing a forecast discussion can be one of the more mundane tasks that a forecaster undertakes each day. It is a useful tool that allows the forecaster to sort out his thoughts and share them with colleagues. Some forecasters elevate that product from a tool to an artform. Some choose to write eloquent essays that truly represent the state of the science. Some choose to inject their own personality into the wording. Whatever the reason, these are some of the best we've come across. These are presented untouched where possible, but some may have been edited before we came across them. Of course, not all of the products here are forecast discussions. Sometimes, other products can be humorous, too. If you see a discussion you think is worthy, please contact webmaster@funnelfiasco.com.
