2:02pm Saskatchewan time.  That's the official end to summer as we make the switch to autumn this afternoon.

While they were way off with the summer forecast the Old Farmer's Almanac is taking a crack at fall, saying we should see a warm end to the month and then a cool October with some potential snow just before Thanksgiving.

Winter is where it'll get interesting through according to managing editor Jack Burnett.

"We're looking at a milder than normal winter but still a lot colder than last winter. When we say milder, we're talking about... maybe half a degree warmer than normal."

When it comes to moisture, Burnett says they're expecting just slightly less moisture than normal by maybe 5mm, so really it should be a normal winter on tap.
