Always an item of interest. Any good forecasters out there who are willing to put their name on a guess? Last years Region 3 forecast in the Old Farmer's Almanac: October 1-6, Warm, showers north, sunny south. 7th-14th, Sunny, warm, then seasonal. This year's forecast for the same region: October 1-8, Sunny, seasonable. 9th-15th, Sunny, warm. Bill Boudway
