    When CME first upped the margin reqeuirements some time ago a number of people were saying it was because "someone" such as a big bank were in too deep shorting and needed the help.

    I think they draw out of a hat for the weather, multiple times a day. Earlier it was forecst 50 for a high. It barely broke freezing. Then later the foecast overnight was 25, now it says 10. The forecast for tomorrow high is 54 hich I'm guessing it will top out at around 30 or less now.
