Remember that record breaking snow accumulation a few winters back? It’s not like Rhode Islanders could forget about it. As summer 2017 is approaching its final few days, many of us are beginning to look ahead and wonder what the upcoming seasons will bring us. While many gear up for apple picking and other fall adventures, a few of us already find ourselves thinking about how much snow we’ll be hit with. Here is one of the first big predictions… and it’s not looking great (unless you ski).
The Farmer’s Almanac always causes a ton of chatter when it releases it’s winter predictions every August.

This might be great news to skiers, but it’s leaving many of us a little depressed about the news of another winter of constant shoveling and snow removal.
