Weather Update!
I figured I would notify all of weather updates as we receive them. Being in the Heating Oil business, we get special updates from time to time.
Not to scare anyone, but this source is usually spot on! After this sentence, all content is from meteorologist John Bagioni.

UNUSUALLY COLD EARLY DECEMBER GAINING MORE SUPPORT…
RECORD COLD AND HIGH ENERGY DEMAND A GROWING CONCERN!!!
PATTERN TREND UPDATE
While I will be expanding on the threat for a very cold early and mid December in my normal Friday update, I felt the need to get a brief pattern alert update out today due to the potential for an unusually cold early December period.
I have been onboard with a cold December for a long time now, but have been thinking that the truly cold, possibly record setting cold, would wait until after the first week of the month.
Current trends, both hemispherical and model-wise, are now pointing toward an earlier intrusion of some very serious cold into the central and eastern U.S. very early in December.
I am not going to get overly specific right now, but this could equal some of the bitter outbreaks of December 1989 and could be record setting if the pattern amplifies to the extent of some of the modeling. Even if the modeling is overdone, the cold period that would evolve in early December would be very significant and would lead to a very impressive enhancement of heating demand across all of the Northeast & New England regions.
