hope they are right !!

Old timers are saying bad winter on the way. Everything is a month early. Flowers blooming, temps, rain patterns and storms.
They say this means snow by late September or early November and snow al year long.

Maybe... We've got late March/early April type flooding around here. Nothing like 9+ inches of rain in the span of a week to swell things up. Temps have been all over the place here too, Sunday was in the 90's, now we're back to the low 60's for highs. The weather is way out of whack, that's for sure, mother nature is definitely off her meds. Anything is possible next winter.
