Kinda funny though... Same heard for the last 10 years and we have had even warmer weather in the past at this time of year.
makes you wonder if there is any fact to the " it's going to be a rough winter" theory.
Someone even said " if it comes in like a lamb it'll turn out to be a lion" meaning the winter of course.
Just wondered if it was area specific, 12 years ago we had a real warm winter and I woke up one morning (after hearing a weather report of 2" - 3") with 18" of snow!
