Warm Winter Coming.....
« on: Oct 19, 2014, 04:35 AM »
"Meteorologists say it may well be setting the state up for a winter with above normal temperatures and normal to near normal precipitation.....“This will not diminish the snow potential in Maine,” Nouhan said. “We just won’t get much in the way of deep, cold air masses like last year.”

As far as that snow potential looks, Nouhan said northern Maine could expect to be near the annual winter average of 150-inches of snow with the Bangor area getting a bit more than its typical 75-inches.

“We are looking at prior years with similar characteristics,” Nouhan said. “This particular winter looks like we are in for a low-end El Nino, and a lot of our forecast perimeters are based on what part of the El Nino cycle we are in, [and] based on that, this winter forecast makes a lot of sense.”

Meanwhile, Back at The Old Farmer Almanac....

"Basing its own forecast on centuries-old climate models and formulas, the Old Farmer’s Almanac is calling for a colder than normal winter but near or below normal snowfalls for the region.

“We are predicting for the northeast things to be colder than normal this winter, similar to last year,” Sarah Perreault, senior associate editor at the New Hampshire-based publication, said. “But we are seeing below normal snowfall. There is still going to be snow, but not like last year.”

Citing an 80-percent accuracy rate, Perreault said the Old Farmer’s Almanac still uses the same weather forecasting process used when it was first published in 1792."

Where was that taken and when?

I think that was Northern Maine a couple days ago. Melted right off! Almost seventy the next day.  ;D

Where and when, no idea, something floating around the web. Notice the roofs have a very shallow pitch. Seems to me if they got that snowfall regularly they would have a 12-12 pitch on those buildings.

I think I’ll have a pretty strong reading by mid-Feb. Should be fun! ;D :w00t: :thumbup_smilie:

Accuweather:" Cold Northeast, Interior Mid-Atlantic to Yield Snowy Winter Season
After record-shattering temperatures and high snow totals last winter in the Northeast, a similar theme will continue into the 2014-2015 season.
Cold air will surge into the Northeast in late November, but the brunt of the season will hold off until January and February. The polar vortex, the culprit responsible for several days of below-zero temperatures last year, will slip down into the region from time to time, delivering blasts of arctic air."I think, primarily, we'll see that happening in mid-January into February but again, it's not going to be the same type of situation as we saw last year, not as persistent," AccuWeather.com Expert Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok said.”
