Any Winter predictions yet?

I don't think this will be a big winter this year but certainly colder than last year. Probably a bit more snow too.

No ice please.

Looks like Im right in the middle of the Winter Battle Zone...whatever the hell that is. No ice please...hate that stuff.

Prediction 1 - I will have a warm house without paying for gas/oil.

Prediction 2 - Days will continue to get shorter until late December, then will get longer.

I can live with that map.

well, I hadn't really looked at any info on the upcoming winter. I was assuming it would be colder and snowier than last year. I only used 2/3 of my usual wood supply last winter due to the unusual warm temps, so this year has got to be getting back somewhat normal in the northest.

The "hippie dippie weatherman" has resurfaced, with the "hippie dippie weather".

Might be worth checking with Puxatanny Phil and Wiarton Willie, they can't be any less accurate as the PROFESSIONAL METEOROLRIGISTS.........!

This says cold where it was hot this summer, but Alaska looks warmer. We'll see. Personally I think we are over-due for a cold winter. I'm stocked and ready. The northern Atlantic is very warm and the Pacific is quite cold. Time will tell but sooner or later we are due for a cold winter. As bad as Europe was as cold as we were warm this past winter, it wouldn't surprise me if it swaps.

Its actually looking a lot like the 04-05 winter which wasnt bad for most of the country, the exception for cold and snowy was the northeast, mostly new england and upstate new york.

I am hoping for a cold winter so it will kill off some of these bugs and its my first winter with the owb

I predict snow , wind & below zero temps here.
Hope I'm wrong.

Mother nature here is giving us signs of an early winter.

I would rather it be autumn until Christmas/New Years at which time we get 2 feet of snow and then it all melts January 2 and spring arives around President's Day. This will leave me with an abundance of firewood which allows me to sell a few cords and buy another saw. But, I fear the Mrs. will grab that extra $$ and we'll get a new set of curtains or something else that is useless.

I also hope for a mild winter so i can save wood to sell/trade for a new saw....got my eye set on the MS660

Is there such a thing where you live?

I predict a very mild, short-lived winter. I'll have you know that almost ALL of my predictions are wrong. I sure hope I'm wrong this year!!

last year was quite good to us...only had to start the snow blower once and temps where only in the the -30's for about a week, the rest of the time -16 to -24c on average.

My snow moving tractor is broken, so I think it all hinges on me, guys. If I get it fixed or replaced before winter, we shouldn't have any snow. If I don't... look out!

I heard- more wintery than normal for the Northeast.

Anything but ice, and I'll be OK

In Soviet Russia, winter predicts YOU!
