Read today that persimmon seeds are the key. This year they have a spoon inside indicating a rough winter. The knife or fork means mild weather. Go buy a local fruit (ours was the spoon).....

I live in Mich too. That last 2 winters were hard..........especially the winter of 2013.

Sometimes my white cat gets her winter coat earlier in the  fall than other falls. It hasn't come in yet. They are predicting a El Ninja for this winter  in Mich.......which is a good thing. Clu, remember the El Ninja we had in the 90s.?.......where we had many mild winters ?  It's a trade wind that develops in the South Pacific or mid Pacific and blows mildly up here.

     All I can say is- - -read the Farmers Almanac. Some people swear by it.

Last year at this time the northern cold arctic air was much further east than it is now. My guess is a much colder forecast for Minnesota this winter. Down through western Kansas and western Texas. Not as cold for northeast and less snow. One web site I looked at stated flooding in Iowa in November.
