[R-sig-Geo] krigeST question (yet again!)

[Edzer Pebesma]

Erin, gstat::krigeST does not have the conception of a data extent
outside of which interpolation is prohibited. With data from Texas, you
can interpolate to Antarctica. Likewise, you can make predictions for
the next century. The software only translates the model assumptions
into predictions. It is you who needs to decide to (for) what extent
these assumptions make sense.

For instance, say my data set runs from Jan 2014 - Aug 2014, and I want to predict from Sep - Oct 2014.  Could I set that up in in my prediction set (such that it would be "reasonable"), please?
