Gosh I hope that it’s correct. It says normal temps, low precipitation in this area. The 6 months of winter is bad enough, I’m so sick of snow it’s not even funny. Of course, they practice cloud seeding here, each and every year, needed or not, in the winter months (there was an article in the paper a few months back), at a taxpayer cost of about $250k per year, so we’ll still get plenty.
For the first time in over 30 years, we lost power over the region during a blizzard, and the rig I was working on was shut down for 36 hours because of the weather. (I have been on rigs which kept going with temps below -50 and wind chills off the chart.)
An 'average' snowfall year would be nice, but here that means more colder weather.
