Their "spec" trading is what sets the price for us po' folks when we buy it. Remember, "They're too big to fail". If they say oil ( or pellets, in this day and age) will have to cost more in 2 months, then it will happen.

you can count on higher prices and a warmer winter!

As long as we have plenty of snow, let it be cold :coolsmile:

(just bought my first "toy" ~ a snowmobile)

The Wall Street wonders got screwed by a non-existent hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico so they have to turn to wishing for a cold winter.

That, plus they should blame Al Gore and ask him for some of the millions he's made lately.....he guaranteed big, devastating hurricanes due to global warming.....

The Farmers Alamanac says we will have a cold dry winter...below average temps...below average precip...
They are right 88% of the time since 1798.
no snow is fine by me...

I'm confident that some days the temperatures will be above normal and some days below normal. Count on it. :blank:

 

[briansol]

I believe it. It's already well below average temp here at night. I had a winter hat on 2 nights ago. I usually don't even wear a jacket until november!

 

[mralias]

My daughter is currently getting her meteorology degree and I have to agree with her when she absolutely, positively guarantees that we will have……….weather this winter.

 

[MainePellethead]

All I can say to this is....... its winter!! lol.... Any way you look at it.....its Winter!

 

[imacman]

I agree 100%. I also predict periods of lightness, followed by periods of darkness every day.

 

[slls]

It's time to tell the oil traders we are just going to burn more pellets. LOL

The winter temps about average out, about 200 degree days difference from normal to cold, which is not much.

Do you think you will have some wet days followed by dry ones too??? LOL I know here in KY. it already feels like late Oct. and that STINKS...

 

[kork]
