Disagree with him on Dec, think it will be cold, and Jan, think it will be warm. Otherwise we're similar on snowfall it sounds like. Knowing LC's track record I'm glad I don't have an identical forecast. :rolleyes:

If this past storm is any clue, we're in for a long winter of unpredictability, model waffling, and surprises. Probably going to be the case given the la nina..

will caution that the persistent presence of a Baffin Island Block could
lead to another, longer lasting, blast of colder values at mid-month. Both the
European and American model suites are hinting at a rather vast blocking
signature covering northern Canada and Greenland, set against a ridge complex
across the northern Pacific Ocean. That couplet of positive 500MB height
anomalies would doom most of the lower 48 states to a long period of cold with
storm threats along the southern and eastern coastlines of the U.S.

If you include the weekend snow, some areas already have 20-30 percent of their average snowfall.
