I keep seeing Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan as dry for this summer. I see it spotty as hell and that will only be exposed in the zip code by zip code bean yields.
As someone in the lake effect snow belt, any prediction is incorrect....we will get nailed by storms, we will get missed by storms, but it will snow and the entire regions aquifers will be topped up on April 1.
Was just visiting family in western NY. From what they said its been so warm this summer, Lake Erie is likely not to freeze, or at least freeze later in winter thereby creating the potential for lots of lake effect snow.
