Peak windows carry a confidence band because a forecast is not a date. Inside two weeks it is reasonable; beyond that the band widens. How we did scores every frozen prediction against what actually happened, and the full methodology says what the model gets wrong.
Hiking and paddling weekends run by Wilderness Union, a Toronto outdoor community for ages 18 to 45. Transport, gear and guides included.
