Winter doesn't necessarily snow though. It could be lots of cold. But, the winter trend here is snow.

LET IT SNOW!!!!!!!

However, the problem I just read is that we are changing to a La Nina winter weather pattern. Books out on whether it will become entrenched or not, hopefully not. NWS forecasters have mentioned it & Gary Gray discusses it at his site too.

Oh no BRL; you're beginning to sound like a forecaster. Soon you'll be venturing out here to the Plains in conquest of severe weather.

BTW: Every outlook we had here in IA for precipitation, temperatures, etc. by our state climatologist and the NWS were wrong; go figure.
The MRF is showing a pretty potent system hitting you guys next week.

How often is the groundhawg right?

 

[Rooster]

plow kid -

The answer is seldom!
At least in Kansas

 

[Pauls Mowing]

I've found that no matter what Ol Phil says, there is always 6 more weeks of winter left.

rooster, he's never right here also, the ice is breaking up on the lake so now i have try to get out one last time

 

[Rooster]

If Old Phil does not see his shadow, we will have a month and 1/2 of winter left.

 

[Randy Scott]

There's six weeks of winter left regardless what the little rodent saw. That's so goofy.

Our 2 Canadian ground hogs only predicted 2 weeeks more weeks of winter, Whyerton Willy & Shubenacadie Sam. But I just counted my hours and I spend 42 hours plowing since Feb 1. I hope our's are right. Deere John You live closer to Willy What do you think?
