Weather or Not

After having predicted, or is that prognosticated, or rather prestidigitated, a mild winter with little snow, I hate to hazard a guess on the coming season. In all fairness, and in defense, it seemed to all of us soothsayers of atmospheric mayhem, that with El Nino firmly entrenched just west of Baja, that our forecasts would hold true. But then lo and behold, The Kid gets a better offer to play in Asia and within weeks the snow starts falling and the temperatures bottomed out at Twenty Below for three days.
So, Spring. I predict increasing daylight hours, warmer temps, less snow, if any, and cheaper oil. Well, three out of four ain’t bad.
