If you believe in long range forecasts, here is some reading. Its ok if you want to skip down to the summary at the bottom to bypass all the sciency stuff before that.

He is not the first person that i have seen mention the snowpack in the northern hemisphere giving us a "cold and stormy" winter.
Im just throwing out some info here. i'm not into long range forecasts. At this point though, i do think its a safe bet to say Blue will definitely most likely be open probably in December.
