Firstgrader's class asks everyone to predict when the first day for 3-inch snow accumulation here in southeast Michigan this year.
First grader: December 1
Preschooler: January 1
Mom: November 24
Dad: November 26
This week is going to be 60s in the highs, so it feels a bit strange to be talking about snow accumulation. But the adults remember the very cold and snowy winter two years ago. After a warm golden October weekend, the winter was colder than normal and snow accumulation started with Thanksgiving break.
The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts a winter colder than normal. This is the almanac's prediction about the days that adults in our family are predicting 3-inch snow accumulation:
Nov 20-24: Rain and snow, then flurries, cold

Curious to see whose guess will be the closest!
UPDATE:
The first day of more than 3-inch snow accumulation this winter was December 12, 2010, which resulted in a snow day (one school day off) on December 13, Monday. So the firstgrader's guess was the closest.
