I would like to see a real cold winter. The fire ants need something to slow them down.

last winter the snow was great, but the last year the snow was "great" up in mercer/hurley was in 97. there were lots of times since that we were driving 6hrs north just to ride in marginal/fair conditions. once we drove up in 45degree rain, it cooled off and in the morning we had 4 inches of snow

We're expected to get several hundred feet of fog, with a little bit of
overcastness, including some soupy drizzle, and a few earthquakes.

The almanac has never hit it right for Alberta so I just read it for entertainment not forecasting.

I moved to Phoenix (from NH) to get away from the snow...

A cold wet winter here means a couple weeks with daytime highs in the 60's and rain more than twice a month.

Had a friend call from Terrace BC.....roads are becoming iced there.

Actually, I am hoping we get some rain this year. Although no "gullywashers".
