AccuWeather reports a brutal 2011-2012 weather for the midwest and Great Lakes region. Says AccuWeather Meteorologist Heather Buchman, "The way the jet stream is expected to be positioned during this winter's La Niña will tend to drive storms through the Midwest and Great Lakes."

December and January are to bring colder temperatures and higher than average snowfalls to the Great Lakes  area. Lake effect snow areas should expect heavy snowfall.

From one skier to another: Bring it on!
