Our first touch of winter are conjuring thoughts of an early start to ski season if not another great snow season. However, it's hard to produce consecutive record snow seasons. The Climate Prediction Center reinforces that and says not so fast. Their forecast shows a likelihood of warmer than average temperatures for October, November and December. As far as precipitation goes, they remain neutral, believing we have equal chances of below average, average and above average rain and snow.
