If you have no faith in long range forecasts, Please Don't Read! You need to remember the long-range forecast true value is not in the details but the trend they suggest. The important things are Colder than normal Dec.-Jan, with major snowfalls across VT,NH and ME. Southern New England more snow changing to rain and possible ice storms. Temperatures some 1-2 degrees below normal thru Jan., with Feb.-March above normal 1-2 degrees. Some comparisons of the current patterns suggest a Winter season much like 1969 with very heavy snow events throughout New England. Next weekend's storm perhaps the kick-off! Still this event is to far off for details but close enough for us to see a stormy trend setting up. Models do not agree on the the track. We will find out soon.
AccuWeather.com's Meteorologist Joe Bastardi says that the La Nina, cooler than normal ocean water temperatures in the Pacific, will play a significant role in this year's winter. Bastardi expects the heaviest snow of the winter to fall from Northern New England to Minnesota. Farther south, a 'wintry battle zone' will set up, meaning that a mix of rain, sleet, ice, and snow is all expected, depending upon location. Read more of Bastardi's AccuWeather winter forecast
