Done.
Well, that goes without saying.
Didn't love every bit of every previous episode to be honest. I thought this was a bit more memorable.
Personally, I love the emphasis on the relation between the two and this story suited that aspect very well.

Happy Thursday!

Another beautiful day in balmy southeast Iowa. It's a toasty -13C outside right now, snow on the ground and slick roads all around.
 
Apparently some cold weather is going to come down from Scandanavia in about ten days time and persist for about a fortnight.

Well, detailed weather forecasts more than one week ahead are usually guesswork, so I guess both you Scottish and we Norwegians should be prepared for just anything. As usual :D
 
It's slightly unfair to call it guesswork.<_< The accuracy for a ten day forecast is only 40% (90% for five days) but I'd expect the models to get the general state of the atmosphere roughly correct two weeks in advance.

Guesswork is maybe harsh. But it is inaccurate enough to make detailed forecasting for a specific place akin to guessing. Not for a whole region, of course. It's a difference (which you are clearly aware of) between saying that Edinburgh will have rain on January 15th and saying that the weather in southern Scotland will be generally mild and rainy for the next two weeks.
 
Of course, but I never said that a particular location would experience a particular phenomenon on a particular date. My statement referred to the general conditions expected in this part of the world for the rest of the month. ;)
 
Nerds don't talk about the weather. We talk about meterology.
