Snowy Forecast

The National Weather Service's long term weather forecast winter 2012 is calling for a snowy forecast for much of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region of the United States. Cooler then normal ocean surface temperatures mean El Nina will once again influence weather across the country. The Eastern seaboard should still experience significant snow and cold but not at the levels of last year. This is unwelcome news to the milllions of households the use heating oil to keep warm. Prices are expected to rise as higher demand kicks in during the winter months. It is important to listen to your local forecasts and heed them when the weather starts to turn bad. Some of the weather apps available are just amazing.
