I think this is going to be an "interesting" winter. They are saying the Northwest is heading for a winter like 96 when we had a lot of wind and flooding. It's getting to be more like it was when I was a kid. Weather cycles are longer than one rotation of seasons.

Hope this prediction doesn't come true...the UK comes to a grinding halt when it snows.

Expert warns of freezing winter ahead
One of the coldest winters in recent memory is about to hit Britain, according to the forecasters who correctly predicted this summer's washout.
Metcheck.com says the first cold snap will arrive on Monday, with regular cold fronts sweeping across the country until Christmas. Further prolonged bitter spells are expected to follow in the New Year.
Andrew Bond, the senior forecaster for the group, said: "From what we are predicting, Britain could see its coldest winter of the century so far.
"It is time to ditch the wellies for woollies. This winter will be a lot more cold and less wet than previous winters. The cold snap next week is nature giving us a taste of what is to come in the next few months."
He added: "We are confident that we will see a higher than average frequency of northerly weather types, bringing not just colder weather but a more frequent snowfall than we have experienced in recent years."
He predicted bitterly cold winds in the South and snowfall in the North and said there would then be a very cold spell between November 22 and 27.
Mr Bond was one of the few forecasters to accurately predict a wet summer back in March.
Other forecasters are more cautious in their predictions.
The PA WeatherCentre said there was no evidence yet to back up a prediction of colder winter temperatures than usual. Daniel Adamson, senior meteorologist for the PA WeatherCentre, said: "We can't predict more than 10 days ahead with any accuracy, and there is nothing to suggest that it's going to be exceptionally cold at all."
