As my last post hopefully demonstrated, I keep a keen eye on the atmospheric patterns that will likely influence our weather each winter. However, long before meteorology became a science, people relied on natures cue’s to predict the severity of a coming winter. Whether these signs are just coincidence or there is some truth to …
As we are starting to transition into Autumn, those chionophiles among us can’t but help to think about the coming winter. For those of you that have met me in person and discussed my beliefs on the matter, will know I have a theory. Based on nothing more than my own experience, it goes that …

However we do need to be aware of managing the comings …
