Unfortunately I believe that you will be correct. A pattern change that will be a month late and will do nobody any good, as we won't be able to build a snow pack. It will keep the ground good and muddy and hearting bills up. Glad I went to the County Maine to get my snowmobiling fix it. It was heaven being there, no shortage of cold and snow anywhere. First morning we woke up in Fort Kent, ME it was -16 F out and a high of 5 or so for the day...That was a good day.
