• You were supposed to include a statement indicating which parts of the project were working. There was a penalty for indicating that something was working when it was clearly not.
• You should look at the output you generate to make sure it make sense. The following output line should be an indication of a problem:
  Mar 19: Low 65 High 80 Predicted Lows: 55 80 57 84 ...
  
• You should check by hand that at least some of the values in the final output agree with the input.
• If you catch an exception in the main program, for example if you cannot find a file, the program should exit, and not try to process the contents of the file.
• Do not have main throw an exception. This is not handling the error, it is ignoring it.
• The method: createFromDescriptor should be in TemperaturePrediction not TemperaturePredictionList.
• Do not use absolute path names for file. Use relative ones the the program can be run on other machines.
