April was slow approaching, March still unrelenting and cruel, though rising from the freezing thirties into the chilly but kinder forties; it was still hardly pleasant weather, and with the unpredictability of March in New York City, was just as likely to plunge down the next day. Customer’s moods were equally volatile with the weather; some days people flooded in with platitudes of warmth and others with eyes rung so into their skulls they looked more like empty sockets, with orders curt or to the point and tips measly. Will had come to learn that volatility in times of bad weather was best for business…

    Even though computers have gotten better with technology but humans still have a 25% accuracy of precipitation models than computers alone. Weather is considered to be exponential and when initial factors are off by small amounts it makes a huge impact. I think the predictions made about weather are important because many times we are given warnings but act slowly to them. Then we will complain and be shocked when the worst case scenario happens.
