This winter predicted to be a bit warmer and drier than last winter
It’s not expected to be warmer than normal this winter, but it appears it’s predicted to be a bit drier as far as less snowfall and the temperature is not expected to be as bad as last year where we had the coldest January on record since 1994. FOX Toledo has more details and for those of you interested in what the Farmer’s Almanac says?
