Another Idea Gone

I thought of the idea where users bet on what they think the weather will be - for points - a couple of years ago.  Even went so far as to plan out a phased approach to how I'd do it.  First phase was to enter a zipcode and a temperature range - and based on how big the range was and how close you got, you got points.

My goal was to make a hyper-accurate weather prediction system.  Professional Weather forcasters could be guaged and rated.

Well - looks like someone from google has taken it to the extreme and added the idea of making it a Weather Insurance system where you can do kinda the same thing I thought of, but for real money.
