I predict the CA Sierras will continue to have great snow, and I am so thankful as we have been in a drought the last four years. Weather folks say from now to March we should expect more and more rain and snow upcountry and this has me so giddy. What I love about the snow is how quiet it is when you are outside because snow is like insulation, as it muffles sound. And when the snow is up to the second story windows, its fun to climb out one of the windows and jump off into the snow below. Although we have to make sure there is no snow around the roof vents for gas and and bathrooms or you can end up with an booooom! I like to ponder what it was like for the folks back in the WW2 years and earlier.

AnneMarie - I so love the scent of snow in the air. Here in Houston we finally have a day that is not going to make it up to 60 deg. It's 3:37 and the temp is 59. Was windy/cold enough last night that I had to close the windows. It's supposed to be down in the 40s at night for the next few days and sunny in the low-to-mid 70s in the day. Should be very nice and not so HOT!

According to the Farmers Almanac this winter across the Canadian Prairies is supposed to be colder and dryer than usual. It already feels chilly out and the scent of snow is in the air.

I have a feeling that here in SW Louisiana will be another cold winter. We don't usually have much of a winter. Last year, we really had a lot of cold days. There was even snow in north Louisiana. So I am predicting that it will snow in SW Louisiana. My husband doesn't want that to come true, he does not like the snow or the cold weather. But, I sure do!!!

... I think it will be a long and very cold winter... because of the amount of acorns falling onto our roof and yard. THIS is the most I have ever seen since moving here. My entire property is covered with them.. each step I take outside.. crunch crunch under my feet...argh!

I don't think we're ever going to get winter here in Houston. It's 80 deg this morning with 100% humidity. We're supposed to have a "cold front" come through tomorrow and the daytime temps will get "down" to the high 70s. Aaargh! It's this time that I miss my beautiful Colorado the most!

Carla, I like that "weather guessers". :) It has been such an odd year for weather, I can't imagine that winter will be any different. Two weeks ago we were walking around dealing with record heat (shorts and tank tops in October?) and last night we took the plummet into winter - 40 mph sustained winds since yesterday morning, sleet and snow all continued until this evening. So my prediction is whatever happens this winter, it will be one to talk about. :)

Mice invading the house, lots of wooly worms, horses and cows have thick undercoats, snowline is already down below 7000ft up in Taos. Last two mornings here on the plains of NM water tanks have had crust of ice. Brrrrrrrrrrr it looks like a hard winter ahead but ask me next april and I should know what kind of winter will be had for winter of 2010/2011(hee hee :) |

Noooooo Snoooooo!
I was out with another driver making deliveries yesterday, he kept asking if the weather guessers said anything about snow?!
Snow? I want some sort of fall this year. 60 or 50 degree weather. Time to take up the leaves and get the house ready and all.
It was COLD and rainy all yesterday though. And a friend that is coming for a visit got trapped in a snowstorm and had to sit it out in Vail, CO.
It's here...

I'm predicting COLD!
It was wonderful here yesterday. Fall leaves and fairly warm air. I was even able to ride the bike and take neighborhood fall pictures.
Today it is COLD! My legs are protesting [my crummy circulation tells me better then any wolly worms].
Smiles!

Oh Suzie! I hope those old timers are having problems with their spectacles. It was 14 this morning out at my garden. The vines that I hadn't cleared, snapped like a stick. That bad winter caused the huge I-beam to crack in our 3 vehicle shop. We had to replace our whole building....very expensive. Seems insurances don't like to pay out for much. Over 5 feet of snow on the flat....waay tooooo much. Reminded me of Alaska.

Buffypuff.....the old timers down our way are saying it's going to be worse than the winters of 07/08. We were down to 26 this a.m., who knows what's to follow, only thing we can do is be prepared!!

A weather man who is a FB friend, told us that the Pacific is showing a La Nina bend. That means a snowy winter for us. He said that he thinks it may be less than 2 years ago, but not much....4.5 feet or so. Not wanting too much snow...but don't have a choice. ;0)

I predict a cold snowy winter. My hope is it only snows on Saturday and Sunday so the roads are clear of snow and ice to drive to work safely Monday - Friday.

My husband and I have both noticed a TON of acorns this year - so many that you have to be careful not to slip on them when you walk, and my dog keeps bringing them in the house to play with them! Seriously, they are just coating the ground-I've lived here for 10 years and have never seen anything like it.
According to the farmers almanac, lots of acorns means a hard winter..

They are predicting a very cold winter in the NE. Along with that they are predicting oil above $3 and propane also. Sure miss my wood stove. LOL! I predict a very cold and snowy winter and I love it. Nothing better than being in a good old fashioned snowstorm. Bring it on!

We had a HOT HOT summer here in Chicago. Lots of rain in the spring and now beautiful this fall so far.
I would LOVE snow. But something is telling me it's going to be dry & extremely cold.
