Another cold and snowy winter forecast

The National Weather Service issued its winter forecast today. The "good" news is that it goes right along with what we told you to expect in an earlier post.  It is likely to be cold and snowy this winter. If you look at the map to the left you will see that NWS expects us to have a greater than 40% chance of above normal snowfall. In addition, they say we have a better than 33% chance of colder than normal temperatures. Woo hoo! Winter sports enthusiasts will love this!

Here's what we posted earlier in the month:

• Lake effect snow will begin in mid to late November and continuing into early January.
• The coldest time period should by from around Thanksgiving until just past New Years.
• The snowiest period should come during January and February.
• Expect frequent clipper storms to move through the lower Great Lakes.
