I'm in the mild and snowy zone according to the Farmers Almanac. I'd prefer that the weather not be mild, but hoping the snowy part is accurate!

From USA Today: 'Teeth-chattering' winter with plenty of snow, Farmers' Almanac predicts
"Hold onto your wool caps: we may be in for a brutal winter.
Unlike other news stories predicting a warm, wet winter, the Farmers' Almanac predicts a "colder-than-normal" season, stretching from the Continental Divide to the Appalachians.
“Contrary to the stories storming the web, our time-tested, long-range formula is pointing toward a very long, cold, and snow-filled winter," said editor Peter Geiger in a statement on the company's website.
The popular forecaster said frigid conditions are expected in mid-February across the New England, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and the Midwest.
Above-normal snowfall is predicted for the Great Lakes, Midwest, New England and Pacific Northwest, they said.
Stormy conditions are expected to hang around through the official start of spring."

They missed two that get talked about in the NC mountains. People have been counting foggy mornings. More fog implies more snowy days are coming. The other more well known indicator is the "wolly worm" that is actually a caterpillar. A fun festival has grown up in Banner Elk around fun with wolly worms, including racing. For 2018 the dates are Oct. 21-22. Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain (over 5000 ft) in Banner Elk are the two largest ski hills in the southeast.

There is a Woollybear Festival here in Ohio, too. I guess the 46th annual parade/festival is later this month.
I saw an all-black woollybear caterpillar on a backpacking trip in PA yesterday! But apparently the tale of the woollybear's orange band forecasting the snowy winter is about last winter instead of the upcoming one.

It’s crazy but the warmer air over the ocean = more water condensing = more precipitation = MORE SNOW !!!

Well surfing and snow this week 
Hurricane Sergio provided fun waves Thursday and Friday, quick trip to Mammoth Sat and Sun for wood and maintenance big graupel storm yesterday afternoon blanketed the mountain and then snow last night down to 8000 feet.
Best part is Sergio is swinging back and providing more surf for the next few days ...
Forecasters seem to be backing off Modoki

For the Oregon Cascades, everyone is predicting warm and wet. Typical for us in mild El Niño.

And the Farmer's Almanac on page 1.
Wanna point out that the Feds' map skips out Canada and Mexico although their model obviously covers the whole hemisphere, if not the whole globe.
Nice thing about the Oregon Department of Agriculture is that they also analyze and publish how wrong their predictions were.

One month until opening day at Breck. I'm hoping this is the start of something wonderful for the Rockies. After last winter we deserve it.

I am hoping for this too! My team at work is having a week-long offsite in Boulder the week before Thanksgiving, so my snowboarding coworker and I booked a few extra days in the hopes that at least SOMETHING will be open by that weekend of the 17th. We both have Epic passes and we are staying in Frisco for the weekend, so really really doing a snow dance for Breck
