What forecasts have you been looking at cause I have heard the exact opposite for this part of the country. Youre only a few hrs from me so from what ive read it looks pretty good for both of us.

Basically what I've looked at, a lot of areas are getting lower than normal temps and more than normal and or normal snow fall... I could be wrong... I know the northeast is going to be colder and snowier!

Take everything they say with a grain of salt. They can't predict the weather 3 days out. No way they are going to get it right 4 months out.

The weather people can't tell you if it's going to rain from one day to the next and you're going to get all bent out of shape by them trying to tell you it's going to be warmer than normal and no snow a few months in advance?
Relax, and invite Al Gore over for a cup of warm cocoa.

I wouldnt put much stock in any long-range weather forecast. They cant get tomorrow right, so why would you believe what they say the weather will be 4 months from now?
If we get cold and snow, I will ride my sled. If not, my sled will simply last me another year longer. Im not going to get all upset or angry about the weather.

Well, even if we aren't forcasted to get much snow, at least it will be cold and the snow we get stays, but I agree with what alot of people have been saying, the weather people or whoever the hell they are that predict the weather have no clue whats going on, not even when winter is finally here, so we'll just have to wait and see and keep our fingers crossed!
