Accuweather forecast for midwest looks clutch, but weather channel is a huge buzzkill... should I even bother getting my hopes up looking at Accuweather???

When i lived in south dakota Accuweather was the most accurate and the weather channel was about as accurate as a blind man shooting a gun

This makes me feel 100x better haha, accuweather shows high 20's at night for basically a week straight which is good for blowing snow, when weather channel shows high thirties...I'm hoping!

In my Midwest experience (Northwest Michigan) Accuweather goes low, Weather Channel goes high. Three weeks ago the Weather Channel was calling for sixties and it snowed so...

Not sure what to think about the season, but long term is showing a late start to winter in the Midwest, but once it's here it's gonna be a cold one

Trollhaugen is a go for this weekend, if not Saturday then for sure on Sunday. The rest will open in the next few weeks. I'm calling it that all the big spots in MN will be open for the first weekend of December.

I personally prefer NOAA. It's worked best for me.

If Accuweather were to predict Ohio and PA correctly last year, then Ohio wouldn't have opened and PA would have opened in February.
