How is the Winter Forecast looking for your region?

[buster]

From what I understand the Northeast part of the US has seen the largest increase in average winter temperatures at 4.7F.

Last 3 years we’ve had little snow. I’m not a winter person at all but I wouldn’t mind a blizzard this year.

This was 2009. My 05 Accord buried.



@bbhero curious what your thoughts are for this upcoming winter.

Last winter here was a really hard one. Ice dams were really really bad. Snow amounts were high and with slightly higher temps it was heavy wet stuff a lot of the time.

No idea what this winter will be like. Don't know until it comes. But I sure hope it's a little easier.

El Nino and whatever the warm(er) ocean temps will do to us.

As usual the forecast is gret. Grey+wet.

Last year, It would snow over the dark, early morning and then start raining on the snow before mid morning. Had to suck it up too many times and get out there with the big snow blower before breakfast, That thing hates slush. It was hard blowing last couple years. Plus I am just a couple years shy of 70 now
This year was hottest on record - I find it not helpful averaging this data - would like it by region. Stupid news blurbs. I am not motivated to look.

Well, cold this week. High 60's and a few lower 70's. Winter temps are expected to be above average as is rainfall.

Here in the mid Atlantic they are saying a cold and snowy winter as I sit here today in shorts and t-shirt.

I hope it's mild again this winter like it was last winter. I went to the beach in NJ last February and got singed (almost sunburned). So far I've been wearing shorts a lot this fall and loving it. Had to mow the grass last weekend though.

Shorts & T-Shirt soaking up sun....






I will be in the most southern end of TX for the MO winter

We're in a severe drought in AL at the moment, and the entire state is under a burn ban. Winter outlook is for wetter than average. That's good, and maybe we'll even get some snow this year. It gets plenty cold enough for snow in north AL during the winter, but we almost never get precipitation and cold at the same time. It was 0°F here on Christmas morning 2022.

Colorado is already seeing some of its earliest opening days for ski resorts.

 

[SwampSurvivor]

We're supposed to have a warmer and dryer winter. I'm okay with the dryer part - love snow but hate rain. And all it did last winter was rain rain rain.

 

[walterjay]

Haven't gotten much snow here as of late. Looking forward to a good snowstorm.

Last winter was a record year for snow. Over 900" a few miles away. I'd be just fine with a bit less.

 

[ripcord]

I was visiting my folks in central Montana a few weeks ago and we had an early snow with accumulations of about a foot, but since its windy there, too, it drifts a lot deeper in places. Had to stay a few extra days to wait for the passes to get cleared.

 

[Allaneddie]

We will probably have some days when the high only gets to the 50s. We will also have some days in the 70s in December through February.

 

[honeeagle]

cooler then summer and cloudier ,days are shorter.
Precipitation sticks around a bit

 

[Barkleymut]

Cold, just like every winter. If I have to scrape my windshield - Its freaking cold.

So far this fall we're enjoying the global warming. Let you know about our winter forecast in ~April.
