THE FOX 8 WEATHER STAFF HAS CONJURED UP A WINTER WEATHER
FORECAST THAT DIFFERS MARKEDLY FROM THAT OF THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICES' CLIMATE PREDICATION CENTER FORECAST.

THE NPC OUTLOOK CALLS FOR TEMPERATURES IN OUR AREA TO
AVERAGE ABOVE NORM AL WITH BELOW NORMAL SNOWFALL (I HOPE
THEY ARE RIGHT!)

THE FOX 8 FORECAST IS FOR BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
(BUT NOT WITHOUT 5 TO 8 DAY PERIODS OF MILDER READINGS).

SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE A BIT ABOVE NORMAL WITH THE
USUAL HEAVY  SNOWFALL IN THE LEGENDARY NE OHIO SNOWBELTS
EAST OF CLEVELAND.

AS I ALWAYS POINT OUT, THERE ARE 3 THINGS WE SHOULD NOT
KNOW HOW THEY ARE MADE:  LAWS, SAUSAGES AND LONG-RANGE
WEATHER FORECASTS.  WE WILL REVIEW THE OUTLOOK AT MID-
WINTER.
