AccuWeather's 2009-2010 Winter Outlook

[Ilovewashers]

The stupidest winter ever that year, while the East was in Hell in Feb., Spokane Washington barely reached a foot of snow overall, the most common times it was below freezing was when it was a clear night. 12" overall that Winter!!! Let me take out my calculator. . . let's see 49"-12"=37" that's 37" of snow below average. Farmers were worried so was the water suppliers!

@Ilovewashers Yeah but this year its the opposite.

I live in northern Va and the 09-10 winter was one to remember. This year I believe we will finally just have an old fashioned winter. Everything I have seen has pointed to

Accumulating snow in early december and cold to mid Feb. Then a nice warm up for several weeks and march will come in like a lion. The mid Atlantic is a very tough place to

Forecast . It's all about the Art Oscillation staying negative and driving down cold shots and a winter storm on the right path. Look 1996 was a La Nina

I live in Maryland and we got nailed by a lot of snow, which was the biggest winter I have ever been in by far. And I have been checking on the winter outlook for 2011-2012 and it looks like the Mid-Atlantic region will be having another snowy winter :)

i live in boston and it was a mild winter and we got below average snowfall

[Brian211978]

well except for december, they were nearly spot on, especially in the northeast and southwest. and the midwest was cold most of the winter!

Looks like you just got your wish! Enjoy!

No, I do not think that I am off! The Pacific moisture plume will be entrained into the southern jet stream and then be picked up by the east coast trough.

Also, El Nino's are not the same and while one El Nino may bring warmer weather to the United States, the El Nino for this year is different as SST's are warmer in different locations.

well guess what ? end of novemeber has come and thares no sign of wintery weather in sight , you should pay closer attention to my comments perhaps? good day

[Skankpronger]

you are, youve already proven you are off track with your earlier predictions , expect to see lower then avg temps to close out the year but dont expect much in the way of snow a few inches here and there until feb

[MarkT770]

and philly!

[pavs03]

i love snow cant wait for this winter

[Cavin21]

Don't get your hopes up. El Nino is strengthening and will create warmer patterns especially for us.

[padude64]

After we deal with Tropical Storm Ida and with the tropics, a trough is expected to develop in the east.

Winter will definitely come early to the east.

Snow will fall in the east late November and early December!

[Skankpronger]

winter will come early here but not till mid to late December your a bit off

[andrew39611]

yea me 2!!!! im also from nyc 2 and we need some real snow this time

[jasonus03]

Accuweather's winter forecasts aren't the best. It's closer than usual to what I think will happen, but not on point by any means.

[dj9616]

I wana see many heavy snow storm like what happen in 96

[plummustangs]

you think the el nino will stay weak?

[Niyologist]

No, it's okay BennyFlur because so far the PDO is still negative and the analog years for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic are 1957-58 (Very Snowy), 1965-66 (temporary mild bouts), and 1976-77 (Severe Cold). :D

P.S: I will also have a Full Outlook, but it'll be in the middle of November. :o

[Cavin21]

I would love to see a blizzard of 96 repeat.
