All the weather guessers seem to think the PNW will be warmer than normal. Sure not what I would like to see. Normal snow fall is about two feet for the year, last year somewhere about three inches. We need the moisture for irrigation of our crops. My preference would be about three feet!

A little warmer than normal for you might not necessarily mean less snow fall.

The weather forecast have been so wrong this year here.
How do they know the winter?
It was so dry here with farmers/ranchers not getting adequate hay baled.
If I had my druthers I would like for the grass to grow all winter so the stock
would not perish from lack of feed.

The Bible says that land and people and God need to rest from their labors.
Could it be that the reason livestock raisers are having to buy so much feed is that the land is overstocked?

I don’t know about that...all the farmers I know have pastures and meadows.
The cows usually are not turned on the meadow until after frost. But when the
rain does not come and pastures dry up, the meadow will dry up too, not making hay.
Here people have put out syrup tubs and grain.
Even preachers don’t talk about giving the land a rest............

“Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce, but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field may eat. Exodus 23:10-11
There's lots of things preachers don't talk about. A person and his family get tired of moving all the time.
