    Aridzona looks really swamped on the evening news.

    Leaves are still falling here. Dunno, but that's usually the sign of a cold winter... Lows are in the low 50s, high today in the valley was 68.

    EDIT:
    Alex and I spent a good bit of time putting out fires on Monday. A website called Empire News, that puts out satirical news stories, put out a winter outlook calling for 5 to 10 times as much snow as last year. Poughkeepsie had 59 inches of snow last winter… so based on the article, they were projecting somewhere between 300 and 600 inches of snow for the coming winter… which would mean that we’d need to track down Jake Gyllenhaal and Dennis Quaid…

    The Day After Tomorrow

    So we had a little fun with that… seeing how their winter forecast was effectively calling for the Hudson Valley to experience it’s next ice age. But we wanted to squash the rumors and fears quickly… because it was very easy to think it was a legitimate winter forecast. With social media being what it is… things get out of control in a hurry… and by mid day on Monday, many readers were sweating bullets.
    If nothing else, this article made fans want the HVW winter forecast even more. Alex and I will be putting together the HVW winter outlook as soon as we can. We had originally it targeted for late September / early October… but with numerous dramatic outlooks being put forward so early, by everyone from internet websites to The Farmer’s Almanac, we’re going to try and get it out sooner. We appreciate your patience… and while we don’t want to give much away… the terms “mild” and “warm” likely won’t be part of it.
