I think it's ridiculous that Accuweather gives a forecast for 2-3 months in advance. What is their reasoning behind this? You can't possibly rely on that forecast and make plans based off it. For instance, as soon as I booked this trip to Fort Myers many weeks ago I started checking that long term forecast just for fun, knowing that I would see the forecast change many times as the time got closer to this weekend. And it sure did! In my experience even the 14 day forecast is a joke, days 8-14 are rarely ever correct. One day I'll check it for my area and they'll call for 20cm of snow on day 13, but then the next day when I check it again it'll say 0cm. So it gets people all worked up for nothing, they can never forecast a big storm that far out.
