It's not winter yet and already we have broken snowfall records here in West Michigan because Halloween was shockingly snowy! Over 11 inches fell in Muskegon knocking out power to over 30,000 and cancelling Halloween trick-or-treating. It had to be held yesterday, November 1st. But Muskegon wasn't the only place getting lots of snow with six-plus inches falling in Holland, seven-plus in Grand Haven. and several communities got over eight inches. Holy snowfall!

So, is this what we can expect for Winter of 2023/2024?  Who actually knows, but the Farmers Almanac says probably. It could be a harsh and snowy Winter. We'll just have to wait and see.
