Farmer's Almanac-"Expect a Catastrophic Winter" - 09/09/08 01:12 PM
The Farmer's Almanac is predicting a "Normal" winter for the SE USA, but a Catastrophic Winter for the Northern USA and all of Canada.
I am expecting thicker ice to contend with as I work the Illinois River. I am taking my winter and Arctic gear to the boat when I return to it. I already have a BoB that stays on the boat along with my basic CBR gear.
I know what OBG's solution is: Go south to Arizona for the winter and that's a truly great plan. Not all of us have that option though.
I would like to know what Our Northern ETS'ers think about that prediction and what preparations they are making for such a harsh winter.
