Today marks the beginning of meteorological winter. Leading up to December some people approach me for a winter prognosis. First of all, my background is in law and history, a meteorologist I am not.  Of course, I have studied the region’s weather history. That aside, as a life long resident, there is one winter prediction I can almost guarantee—no two winters are alike.

When I was growing up, I asked my Uncle Bob Rea the question what kind of winter will it be. His reply, “I will tell you in March.”

P.S. – For those out of the area, yesterday, the high temperature in Susanville was 25, with 92 % humidity and fog.
