Description from Granny Nancy: Mon, November 14, 2022 at 11:36 AM
Snow lovers rejoice! The Charlotte region (and most of the Southeast) is expected to receive an above average amount of snow throughout the upcoming winter months. The new 2022-23 Farmers Almanac has just been released and reads; “The first bite of winter should come earlier than last year’s. NOTE:
I created the pick before I read the Farmer Almanac's prediction.

EPBCornell says:I couldn’t resist this combination & this went straight to my faves, too. Good news for my pleasure about the earlier snow— I’ve missed the few inches for Thanksgiving and a white Christmas— but professionally I need it to hold off at least another month in RI! I have roads I need to test before the plows get on them… Thank you as ever for keeping us up on all the latest, Nancy!
