William H. Alexander, Cleveland's chief weather forecaster, observed: :"Take it all in all the depth of the snowfall, the tremendous wind, the amount of damage done and the total unpreparedness of the people—I think it is safe to say that the present storm is the worst experienced in Cleveland during the whole forty-three years the Weather Bureau has been established in the city".
5.36pm GMT Sandy picks up surprising speed on approach to coast Guardian US forecaster Harry Enten observes that Hurricane Sandy has picked up considerable speed as it approaches the coast, going against most forecasts.
Their research showed that people lose confidence in algorithms much more than in human forecasters when they observe the two make the same mistake.
When the number of forecasters is increased, it has been observed that the performance of the system increases accordingly, although not proportionally.
Dikpati and space physicist Yi-Ming Wang of the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C., also interpret some of the physics underlying the three observed trends differently from the three forecasters.
Though forecasters said this storm was among the most powerful ever observed on the East Coast, much of the cyclone actually remained in the Atlantic Ocean as it lashed the coastal states.

Apart from that, in order to observe the forecasting performance in a more detailed time scope, we select a zone with QRNN as its best forecaster in 2015 and visualize the pinball loss with a bar chart in Fig. 8. Two main conclusions can be drawn from this figure.
Ambitious forecasters take note.
