One of the more volatile weather systems in recent memory is about to clobber parts of Illinois and some could see more than a foot of snow and a bomb cyclone is even possible.
I will admit that weather is hard to predict, so there's a good chance that I'm completely wrong and a dire prediction for Missouri and Illinois for the first week of December is accurate. Let's pray it's not.
It's hard to imagine winter when temperatures are in the 90's if not triple digits. But, you need to know that Farmer's Almanac is already looking ahead to the upcoming winter for 2023/2024 and they predict it will include a surprise blizzard for Illinois.
I don't know what it's like around your house, but being married to a snow-worshipper has been kind of tough for me this winter. My wife Amy has not been pleased at all with our lack of something for her to shovel. "Is it ever going to snow agaaaaaaaaaaaaaain?" she whined/growled the other night.
