Sun and over 20 yesterday, parks full of people. Friend told me that it was 4, early this morning, in suburbia which is in same microclimate.

That's why forecast regularly doesn't work for any more than a day of advance here. They need a dedicated model that can count in all the barrier pressures from the Dinaric Alps and hot air flows from Africa, and include local microclimactic enviroments such as river deltas and the rest. These regions have dual climate classifications, for example my city has hotter variant of Mediterranean type, while its satellites just 10 miles up north through the mountain passage have a standard humid subtropical. The problem lies that most of the Croatia doesn't, and most of Croats live in "simpler" regions for whether calculating. So their stance is that we're not going to implement sophisticated prediction models because generics work for majority of the population.

Therefore our state services are useless for most of the cases (still good for marine, but that's about it). People here are frequent users of Norwegian service that knows what they're dealing with, and their predictions are quite correct.

Speaking to a guy recently who works with the BBC & he says all the outside crews (camera folks, reporters, etc) all use them too. Amusing, since the BBC have a huge weather service but none of them use that!
 
Who knows what's happening there, might be that prediction models used by the Norwegians are patented pay-per-use algorithms and such. Like the game analysis systems in football. In any case it's quite peculiar that they can predict better from accessible satellite data than local guys using the same data and land-based stations and monitors.

They won't fail with sea, though, cause that's mainly wind measurement. Plus the state ferry company is big and reliable. They probably use ship mounted sensors to feed anemometer data in real time. Sea isn't problematic anywhere. I got tons of friends in the merchant marine, they told me there's a software that predicts sea storms with enough accuracy they plot several days worth of course around its output
 
Depends what you do with your guitar strings...

The crap in that thread is priceless:
It seems possible for a vegan guitar to be made, but I don't think any company has or will unless all high profile vegan musicians get a custom one made. Steve Vai is apparently a vegetarian, but I don't think he would care enough since he is a beekeeping hobbyist.

:lol:
Maybe you could email known vegan bands and ask what they decided to do. Or look specifically at the guitars they use and see if they are vegan?

Eh? Mine is self nocking and, and unless he's insisting on historical authenticity, you can get plastic vanes instead of fletchings for arrows.

He goes through all that - it's less to do with authenticity and more to do with what GNAS will and won't allow at competitions - to be fair they've relaxed a lot in the last few years but they used to have (and still do to an extent) a reputation for being somewhat pretentious and up themselves. (Rule 307, anyone? Hell, they found bows on the Mary Rose that wouldn't be legal at a GNAS event ...) At club level he'd be fine with self nock and Plastifletch but at a comp it depends on a few things, like whether it's record status and to some extent, what judge you get - some of them can be very jobsworthy.
