what do u think the winter season will be like this year average -below average -above average -or brutal?? (days, forecast)

[Icy Tea]

I'm leaning towards brutally cold with a few really nasty big snow events in the northeast. This is very much like the 92 season and we had cold and snow that year into the winter in 93.

I know the winter will be much warmer than what I am used to, since I won't be here anymore.

Oh gosh, I HOPE we don't have another brutal winter.

I liked FBW's post, but I hope his predictions aren't accurate. I don't wanna absolutely freeze again. I like the comment about "what normal people would consider...." I'm pretty normal cause I do consider our winters to be horribly cold.

Most of our summer has been exceptionally cool. We've had a few days that were well above average, but actual warm weather didn't hit until the third week of June and it's very inconsistent. ONE example~our avg. high is 85 (I think). Yesterday we hit a whopping 70. There have been several days like that.

Just a few years ago, we had a chilly summer and figured we'd better hunker down for winter. Surprisingly, it was a very mild one. Hopefully that's what will happen this winter.

I think it will be the same as last year. I hope it is a short winter for a change. But with the ozone who knows whats going to happen.

It's been a really hot summer even for down here. And with el nino i sense a colder, wetter winter down here. The last time summer was this hot was in '04 and that's when it snowed in South Texas! I'm not prediction snow, but I think i will be able to wear a jacket more than twice this winter.

Will you still be living down there when winter gets here or will you be in Colo? What area are you looking at, if I may ask?

Unfortunately, i would still be here unless i take the Lakewood area. If I wait for Pueblo area it will be next year in Spring. I know I'll miss the harsh winter Colorado would get, but I wanted to experience it so I'd hit it strong at first and maybe the other winters wouldn't be so bad.

The winter will probably same as last year, or a bite milder!

Thats interesting about 2004 in Texas cause in the mid latitudes like Missouri and Kansas 04 was one of the coolest summers I've ever seen, it was great.
