Who is excited for snow season? Not us! We're depressed due to lack of snow.

I'm still not excited about the pending weather changes. I am going to run over to NH tomorrow to pick up some tire chains,
getting rears for the new Kioti and front and rear for the NH 8160. Getting some OFA Oka's that will be a quick $2400.

Our forecast is below. We get lake snow here, when we see cold air coming across the lake in a NW to N direction.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOAA produced a new forecast for December, January and February. Their indicators strongly point toward a winter with much milder conditions compared to many winters past.

Firstly, for snow-lovers and winter-lovers, there will be winter. It just may not be enough winter to make you happy.

NOAA says the winter forecast as based on two sound forecasting indicators- El Niño and the climate trend of warmer winters.

Their discussion about the latest forecast states that the combination of El Niño and a warming winter pattern in the Great Lakes gives them fairly strong confidence in the forecast.

Here is the latest temperature forecast for the meteorological winter months. The farther north you are in Michigan, the greater your chance of having warmer-than-normal temperatures. Michigan has two ranges of above normal temperature chances. From Oakland County to Grand Rapids and all areas northward the chance of warmer-than-normal temperatures is between 50 percent and 60 percent. This is a significant chance of anomalously warmer winter temperatures. The far southern part of Lower Michigan still has a chance of warmer-than-normal weather, but at a lesser chance between 40 percent and 50 percent.

We are still getting fall weather here, not unusual, but it's stuck on mild now for weeks.

I'm never excited about snow. Getting up extra early to clear the driveway, going to work early to plow/snowblow/shovel all day, then back home to clean up the rest of the snow, and go to bed.

I wait patiently...

We have it so warm now (50F daytime), I took my old -83 Honda XL600 motorcycle to town for a parts run.

Question for the colder weather folks,anyone ever try or own a battery powered heated jacket? Leaning towards the DeWalt brand cuz I have a lot of 20volt batteries. Unfortunately no one carries one around me and before I drop a bill or two on one would appreciate insight from someone who owns one in terms of how good it works and durability of material.

I have a DeWalt one with removable sleeve, the material is very good and tough, I only had to turn it on once or twice usually while ice fishing or hunting (sitting doing nothing) its so hot even without the battery... I love the removable sleeve since then I can wear it as a vest under a winter jacket and if I get cold I turn it on if I get hot I can remove the winter jacket.
