Hay folks, what does the almanac say about winter this year in the southern Appilations?

From AccuWeather - The cold will be back in the Appalachians, and that will lead to heavy snow in that area. While overall, the winter will not be extremely cold for the country, it will be cold enough for ice concerns for areas from Oklahoma to North Carolina.

You'll know more about it by about April of 2012.

Thanks Jerry! I didn't know that was online!

Guess I'm looking at mild and wet, with a BIG chance of snow!! ::woot::

Last winter it was warm through November (I'm talkin' short sleeves outside!)
It snowed pretty often throughout the season and school was out so I got to spend a lot of time with my granddaughter.
The down side is my wife won't drive in the snow ::mdm:: - it scares her to death, so I have to take her then pick her up.

I made it through the season on worn-out tires, but it's time to replace them BEFORE the snow hits$$$$ ::teary_eyes::

That's really pretty when it's the first snow of the season. After that...

Gettin' those tires replaced is a priority before it's like that picture. ::nod:: :lol:

I don't know if I would put a whole lot of stock in any predictions. They can't even get it right two days before. ::dang::
