I hear that, tough enough for them to get it right 2-3 days out let alone 90 days! Above normal for the next 90 days sounds good to me as we in LOTW country get plenty of winter, starts early enough even in a late winter, and it usually hangs around well into Spring.

I'd like to soon see a good 2 or 3 weeks of Indian summer with temps in the 50-60's, 70's would be even nicer! Ice will come soon enough and till then the fishing is darn good up here out of a boat.

I've never trusted those things. Last winter they predicted way above average. I thought it was normal. Take for example the year before, they said it was supposed to be normal and Around here we only got 15" of ice. Last year we got 25". Two years ago, Mile Lacs only had, 30", if that. Last year there was 3' plus. Wait. Mother nature never follows any rules.

When they say "warmer than normal" or "cooler than normal" they are typically talking in amounts less than a degree on average. It's just a way to get everyone all whipped up over nothing.

Funny he should say that because I'm sure I read in the paper today that while the rest of the country will be "warmer", the northern plains will be average.

Don't think negitive. Later ice just means well have ice in May!!

The weatherman is never right. The only job I know of were they do there job wrong and still get paid.

And I just heard on the radio that the winter forecast is "warmer than usual" for the US in all areas, except for the northern and western plains, which will be cooler than normal.

I agree - since when are these goofballs right???? Think happy thoughts (ICE!) and ignore them.

He looks like one of the munchkins on the Wizard of Oz. Can you picture him with a lolli pop kickin his feet around and singing.

[toughguy]

The goof on the roof can't get tomorrow's weather right let alone the next 90 days. The past few winters have been warmer than normal and I've still been on the ice early December every year. There will be plenty of ice.

[LMITOUT]

weather terrorists.

[Kyle Sandberg]

"The wonderful Wizard of Oz" Yea, I can picture him doing that.

[Snake River King]

Didnt they say the last few winters were going to be cold and they ended up to be average or a little warmer? I think they have the weather screen upside down! They said it will be warm It will probobley be cold as H...E... double hockey sticks this year!!!!!!
