Our local Fox station is supposed to be releasing a "new updated winter weather outlook" today at noon, not that I put much faith in long term forecasts especially from media outlets but.... is it an attention getter to get you to watch news? is there truly a "new" winter weather outlook? what will it be for all of us snow buffs? good? bad?

I found one on X with a weatherman and scientist. They went back to 1987 and picked seven years where the weather was close to this year. After some very detailed explaining, they were saying that the UP could get 250-350" snow [lots of LES] The Northwoods was in that as well. Also said temps would be colder.

I hear ya! although my business relies on snow in winter, NO WHERE NEAR as heavily as Northwoods, people will come in and say I bet you are hoping for snow this year, my response is.... as long as there is in the Northwoods so I can ride...I'm good. Been way too long down here without it, I plan more for no snow than anticipating it will here, So like your comment....I dont pay attention to it any more but do keep close eye on northwoods forecasts LOL

All the hype is oozing from so many weather forecasters & predictors. Despite how other winters have performed, none are a clear indicator as to how things will pan out. As far as what they say about our winter here in the UP, that figure is a shot in the dark. Last year's snowfall in Keweenaw county was 315.25" which was the 3rd snowiest since 1988/89. Houghton county was 304.50" The 54 year average in Keweenaw county is 240.80". If the temperatures get as cold as they are "predicting", this could lead to early ice cover on the big lake which will diminish & eventually shut down LES production. There are too many variables to consider for the long range. End of the day, we will get snow, how much, where & when remains to be seen. I am hoping for average, that's more than enough.
