I’m going to make a bold prediction here. I think we’re going to have a really cold, cold, cold winter.
I’m talking about consecutive days of below zero weather. It’s been a long time since we’ve had one of those kinds of winter. Oh sure, we had 29 inches of snow in one day a few years ago, but it didn’t last long.

I’m basing my prediction on something my grandfather told me years ago when we had a similar hot and long dry summer.

He said back in ‘06 there was a similar hot summer followed by a really cold, cold winter. It’s hard not to believe a man who spent 95 years on this earth and saw plenty of summers and winters. He was right that year, and I think we’re going to pay for this summer before the winter’s over.

Remember you heard it here first.
