Hey Pam. Yes, the Canadian Farmer's Almanac is forecasting milder than normal temperatures overall for the winter with normal or near normal amounts of precipitation. However, this is a normal/near normal average of snow. Southern Ontario is supposed to have mild periods broken up by periods of lake effect snow, heavy at times and often with high winds being a factor. The long and the short of it is - we're going to enjoy a fair amount of milder than normal temperatures throughout the winter with frequent periods of little to no snowfall, but when we do get snow we're going to get dumped on and drifted in big time. But I guess it will all average out to "normal" (snort).

I think winter is here...........
In other words neither your plants or DH's muscles are going to be happy this winter.
BUT you might be.....re snow days. ;)
You got it! And if they always happen on Fridays - like the last one - it won't upset me at all :-)
Here's a fascinating article to read:

(wand down to read all the postings).
The link doesn't work so you'd have to search for "America’s Breadbasket Moves to Canada?" in Google it's posted at the New York Times Site.
