Here's a scary thought: Will the number of snowfalls in one winter equal the date that the first snowfall fell in the season?
If so, we are in for 28 snowfalls during the winter of 2012-13. (On Oct. 28 was recorded 1.1 inches of snow.) Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer, didn't confirm that fact, but did provide a summary of the October weather. Here goes:

The Bluffton Senior Center will start making this year's supply of peanut brittle on Monday, Nov. 5, according to Tonya Meyer, of the center.
"The candy will be ready to purchase on Tuesday, Nov. 6, and can be purchased during regular business hours that include Saturdays, now until Christmas. Peanut brittle is one of the Senior Center’s biggest fundraisers and one of the longest traditions at the Senior Center," she told The Icon.
The recipe is the same that was used in 1974 when volunteers at the Center produced their first batch.
