DAVE’S THOUGHTS: I'm trying to find an upside to the current weather pattern, and if you are a winter lover like I am, you'll appreciate that. If this pattern continues into winter - and October is a good month to see the weather pattern for early winter - we may be tracking winter storms for Saturdays and Sundays. Local skiers and snowboarders rejoice. Forecasting fingers are crossed that this observation pans out. But before the cold can turn this moisture into my beloved snow, we have to deal with RAIN for this weekend.
