It's almost time for the annual guessing game "What will Winter be like?".
Accuweather will release their 2009-2010 winter forecast tomorrow.
Northern New England is having a cold, wet, spring and summer to this point,
with averages temperatures down by about 5°+. Recently, nighttime lows have
been in the high-40's, low-50's, with daytime highs only about 70°.
Accuweather says that "In some cases, at various locations throughout the
region, data suggests that cold winters follow cool summers." So, there you
have it; an iron-clad guarantee of a cold winter in New England! In some
cases, at various locations. |

I think that cool, cloudy summers and cold falls are bad for snow
production in the midwest and northeast.
If the water temperature in the Great Lakes is high enough, then there's
a lot of moisture available when the cold, dry winds come across the Great
Plains and down from Canada.
If the water temperature in the Great Lakes is low, you get less
evaporation... and god forbid that Lake Superior (or any of them for that
matter) freezes over; because then there is virtually no moisture available
and all you get are frigid, dry winds all winter.

I think that might be true for upstate New York and parts of Vermont, but we
in New Hampshire tend to get our moisture for big winter storms from the
Atlantic Ocean. A typical big winter storm starts as a low moving east until
it hits the coast and then heading north. We do get snow from Canada, we
call them clippers, but usually they don't deliver a big payload. |

That makes sense. Lucky for you, the Atlantic Ocean probably won't
freeze over... what with all this global warming and such. LOL |

Joe Bastardi of AccuWeather is calling for cold and snow for the North-East
this winter. He feels the current El Niņo will fade over the winter and will
probably not play as much of a role in the overall weather pattern. The
storm track that could develop this year will bring storms up the Eastern
Seaboard. This type of storm track will differ from that of the past two
years, when storms tended to take a track farther west from Texas into the
Great Lakes. That track into the Great Lakes brought unseasonably mild
weather to the major East Coast cities, keeping them on the more rainy side
of the storms. The track this year right along the Eastern Seaboard would
put the major cities on the cold, wintry side of the storms. The areas that
will be hit hardest this winter by cold, snowy weather will be from New
England through the Appalachians and mid-Atlantic, including North Carolina.
On the other hand, he's calling for less-than-normal snows in the Pacific
Northwest and northern Plains.
I know, a winter forecast in July has about as much weight as a helium
balloon. |
