Winter Weather Forecast

[gary_in_neenah]

Created by NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, the latest outlook anticipates warmer-than-average temperatures for much of the contiguous U.S., although southern states will most likely experience a drier and warmer winter than usual. Conditions in northern states are expected to be cooler and wetter.

Our local forecaster says any precipitation forecast 15 plus days out has zero science behind it. I rarely believe anything more than 5 days out. But, it doesn't hurt to dream.

entertainment purposes only to me but as jr37 stated..."doesn't hurt to dream" as long as there is snow in the greater north woods this year I'll be happy, given up on snow down here during winter. Hoping it will be a banner year for all of the Northwoods this year.

Miss John’s forecasts and graphics I knew pretty much what to expect from his forecasts when I lived up north. His snow depth forecast amounts usually were right on with system snow combined with backside les for Vilas.

Thanks. I've also been reading some other info that talks about how La Nina may (or may not) impact our winter:

I too have seen forecasts all over the place, differs between old and new almanac, forecast outlets, La Nina and El Nino have heard and seen them all so far this year. Wait and see and hope for the best

It wouldn't take much to improve on the snow totals the last two years in our area. I would be happy with an "average" snowfall year.

Like a lot of you have said, the predictions seem pretty inconclusive. Maybe this is the most accurate map after all.

Beat me to it.

IDK, some of the old timers are saying it’s going to be cruel winter based on the size and amounts of all the freaking acorns that came down over the last 6-8 weeks. I like snowstorms!

The way I view forecasts is simple. Wake up in the morning and look out of the cabin windows. If there are dark skies/clouds to the west and north and it is below 32 degrees, probably going to snow. As for how much, a lot would be nice but even a little is better than nothing. To get more exact, call my daughter who lives 30 miles north and west of me in the U.P. and ask her what's going on in Bessemer.

I noticed the same thing !

Wasn't sure if I was the only one noticing that. Holy cow was it a lot

Just another opinion.

Scratchers might actually get used this year. Good old fashion hardpack would be nice too

I like your style.
