Now I'm going to get picky--- is there a 10 year chart that gives the data in a little greater resolution?<br /><br />Also Hamlin worker, I agree it's way too early to predict the winter. I posted some data in another threat in this blog that confirms that November is a poor predictor for the winter snowfall. For instance in the winter of 98/99 we had 0.1" snow in November and still had 111" for the season. In 06/07 we had 0.5" snow in November and still made it to 107" for the season. In 09/10 we had 0" in November and still had 89" for the season. In 10/11 we had 0.4" in November and still hit 127" for the season.<br /><br />Also important to note that since 1940 our average snowfall for November is around 6"-7" and annual avg is 89-90". Since 1940 we've had 17 winters with less than 2" in November and the annual avg for those 17 winters was 83" for the season. So the annual average was only reduced by the November deficit. <br /><br />AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-73437297733976014002012-11-19T20:38:28.502-05:002012-11-19T20:38:28.502-05:00I hope everyone has not given up on winter already...I hope everyone has not given up on winter already. You shouldnt even give up on November yet. NAO is trending negative. As the end of the month gets closer, it looks more likely there will be a few good rounds of cold air droping in. I would not bet on a snowless November just yet. Saturday evening there could be a good shot LES in our area. If we get a shot or two of cold air, a little held from a clipper to the north, and a more active storm track setting up, November could surprise us all.<br /><br />P.S. Get the plows ready it wont be long now. <br />Hamlin Workernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-16609543310984375862012-11-19T19:57:27.688-05:002012-11-19T19:57:27.688-05:00Andy, try these links...

So if that is going to be our main driver... it's understandable that the winter forecast would be even more difficult than usual.<br />Hasn't it been predominantly negative since July? Can I hope that we get persistence for 3 more months?Caledonianoreply@blogger.com
