A very philosophical weather forecaster once commented, "Into each life a little rain must fall."
An equally philosophical coastal resources manager with the Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation says after this weekend, it's more likely to be snow.
Geoff Peach says while many of us are enjoying the milder temperatures we've experienced so far this winter, that also means the lake is not going to freeze over like it has the last couple of winters.
That means as cooler Arctic air passes over the lake, it will pick up more moisture and that moisture will fall on us as lake-affect snow.
Good news for some, but not so much for others.
Peach is however not willing to say the warmer temperatures now will translate into an early spring.
He says this is an El Nino year and that is definitely affecting temperature,s now but he adds it's very difficult what that might mean as far as an early spring.
