I was getting all excited when I read the top few posts.........then I realized this was from 2013!!
323 was the dumping the UP got last year, I too am anxious for snoluver1's "gut" predictions......
I'll be up there the end of December so I hope there are a few good dumps of LES in the meantime. Keep reporting from up there and hopefully snoluver1 will get some warm and fuzzes about 2014/15 season:)

Just hope its not the broken ribs that spill out! I should tell you your old enough to know better, but it would be like preachin to the choir, When Kelly told me, I told him you should have known better. BTW hope your healin up nice and try not to sneeze or cough, if I remember correctly that seems to hurt the most. Its snowin here this morning!!

Yep, old enough to know better, still dumb enough to leave the chest protector hanging in the closet! Guess what my boys are getting for Christmas?

So I've consulted with my colleagues and reviewed the models. The squirrels seem to be just as confused as I am. They started out going crazy but then kind of petered out. Acorn crop is average and I've only seen 1 woolybear so far. Had a thick stripe. With the wealth of information I gathered, my winter forecast is as follows:

We will start out strong with early snows and cold. Northern WI will see some heavy system snows early on, but will be plagued with several thaws, especially later in the season. LES bands will also be heavy early in the season, but will tend to taper off later in season as well. It will turn out to be an average season for the UP, but I'm sensing a massive late winter/early spring storm.
Southern rockies will get hammered with snow all season. Northern rockies will be average to below average.

Ridding at home? Total crap shoot. We will see a couple decent storms but we will also see a bunch of warmer weather/rain.

....and that's what the old gut is telling me.

As much as I want it to the season to be epic, this November pattern is due to the a tropical cyclone in the pacific ocean only. Thus has no impact on December, etc.
