Time to cut forecast numbers for 2010?

I have to disagree with Jeff Masters on this one.

I am not cutting the numbers yet. I am sure there have been seasons that went unrecorded before 1851, where they managed to hit +18 despite starting late, 8 to 10 storms per a month from August to October. 1969 comes close and that started late.
