Take hope! Those long range forecasts can be seriously flawed! I've seen many a time when they predicted a mild winter and we got a very bad one and vice versa. In fact many times it was more reliable to go with just the opposite of what they predict. It's really hard to predict that far in advance.

I know you guys have been in a serious drought and it's not uncommon down there but sometimes weather patterns suddenly change.

It's rather cool up here in northeastern Indiana right now. It's just before noon and only 54 F. degrees! My trout love it!

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
