Bad news for Michiganders who don't look forward to the winter season.

AccuWeather has its annual outlook and Meteorologist Bob Larson says we can expect colder than average temperatures with above average snowfall.

“Not an early start to the lake effect season – there's some years we see that kick in very quickly in October. Not likely [to] be the case this year but once it gets going, we suspected there will be a significant amount of lake effect snow enhanced by a number of clipper type storms that will move across the region.”

He says temperatures will be one-or-two degrees colder than average, but coming off of last year's mild winter, it may seem worse than it really is.
