Hurricane season is officially over.  Sunday marked the final day of the 2008 season.  Back in May, the climate prediction center forecasted above normal conditions for 2008, including 12 to 16 named storms and between 6 and 9 hurricanes.  Looking back at the 2008 season, that forecast proved to be pretty accurate.

Winter is still three weeks away, but someone forgot to tell November.  Find out if this means a cold and wet winter inside.
