    I will have a surplus of firewood if this holds true.. Not a big believer in long term forecasts so I will wait and see..

    Honestly I hope they are wrong. These warm winters are wreaking havoc on my maple syrup making......I want it to be cold right into the middle of March!!

    I'd like a little snow for Christmas, Then it can all go away. I'd take another early spring like 2012. We had the bass boat out in February that year!

    But I'll take what she gives us!!

    I want a full on, cold, deep snow, and white winter. I hope they are dead wrong.
    I have yet to have a Winter to stretch my Fahrenheits legs. With the addition of the Enerzone, I can only hope for more snow/cold.

    The last 2 winters have been terrible by all standards here in Ohio. I want the house to be 80* and outside to be near 0*-10*!! So bring it Mother Nature/Old man Winter!

    I've got no problem with winter if it stays winter. Make it cold as you want, gimme 5 feet of snow, just keep it winter. I can't stand the snow/melt/snow/warm/cold crap.

    So, are you saying that it is not Global Warming. It is actually Global Repositioning? Maybe the snow birds will start coming up here at some time :D
