Drum Roll please….
Here is the Woolly Worm Forecast for the 2108-2019 Winter Season:
Skiers, Snowboarders and Snow Lovers are going to love this coming winter if “Montgomery County’s Best” has anything to do with it. After the winning worm crossed the line first and won its owner, Carolyn Thompson $1075 on the day, the worm was first inspected by race officials to determine that there were no illicit activities like performance enhancing drugs given to the worm. Once the worm was cleared, Tommy Burleson came on and read the worm’s 13 bands.
As our supporting video supports, here is Mr. Burleson’s findings:
WEEK ONE: BLACK BAND – Below the average of 27° and Snowy
WEEK TWO: BLACK BAND – Below the average of 27° and Snowy
WEEK THREE: BLACK BAND – Below the average of 27° and Snowy
WEEK FOUR: FLECK (mix of dark brown and black) – Below average temps and light snow or ice.
WEEK FIVE: DARK BROWN – Below Average Temperatures – Little Precip
WEEK SIX: DARK BROWN – Below Average Temperatures – Little Precip
WEEK SEVEN: DARK BROWN – Below Average Temperatures – Little Precip
WEEK EIGHT: DARK BROWN – Below Average Temperatures – Little Precip

WEEK ELEVEN: FLECK (mix of dark brown and black) – Below average temps and light snow or ice.

I don’t know about you guys but I’ll take that…with perhaps a touch more snow in the mix. Looks like plenty of snowmaking temperatures as there’s not a warm or mild spot in this forecast.
