My name is Grant LeBlanc and I am the creator of McMinnville Weather.com. I like to give my opinions on the current weather or anything that catches my eye and so I will post it all here. I will also post any project related updates and budget related updates periodically.

Expect Snow, Wind and Lots of Rain!
This winter will be full of surprises, including the possibility of snow! In about every presentation, they seem to believe that we have a higher than normal chance for seeing a Snow Event. One Meteorologist, Kyle Dittmore (spelling?) predicted 2 snow events of the magnitude of 2003's winter blast. Wow, that may be a little overdone but you just never know. They also come to the conclusion that we will be above normal in precipitation (no kidding?) and about normal in temps. Think of this meeting like a Weather All Star game, with the likes of Mark Nelsen(KPTV), Matt Zaffino (KGW), Jim Little (Former Koin Meteorologist), Dave Sweeney (Great Guy!) and Ron Peterson of KGW. George Taylor of course was there as well, talked to him for a bit. All in all, this winter will be great for weather lovers, or as mark would call us... "Weather geeks." Haha, maybe for him, for me I am an extremist for weather. It was a fun meeting, but the ride home was awful, heavy downpours..could hardly see 10 ft in front of me at times. We also have a flood watch in place for Saturday Night into Sunday. Keep you posted on that. Take Care!

I see that one of the forecasters is saying that next winter will be the "mother of all snow years" because of solar minimum. I hope he is right. Another compared this to 1978-79. I was a kid then, I do not have specific memories of that winter, but I know we had more snow in those days. Did anyone present Snowwizzard's finding?
