Warm and dry winter for SW ....firebirdcamaro will like that.
I notice that all the spruces are a bent over in my area with cones....
more cones means cold winter....I hope not.
I tested my snowblower ...I need to buy more hi-test gas
Hmmm, never bothered to look at Pine Cones on the Spruces. Interesting. I know acorns were insane this year as well as very active squirrels from end of August still till now end of October.

Lets negotiate a little more. How about above average snowfall with only a couple of big blizzards in Dec & Jan, with a normal/slightly above temperatures all winter and then a fast start to Spring come March? Deal?
Video by Vencore Weather on this winter. I haven't watched it yet.

There are several key factors listed below that are crucial to this year’s Winter Outlook for the Mid-Atlantic region:
-Weak La Nina conditions are likely in the tropical Pacific Ocean
-Mixture of colder and warmer-than-normal water in the northern Pacific Ocean
-Analog years that suggest nearly normal temperatures and precipitation
-Mixed signals from the following three factors on the likelihood for high-latitude blocking events:
--Arctic Oscillation (AO) index
--Snowpack increase in Siberia
--Low solar activity

Likely wrong tree, I'm certain it is White Pine with the most cones this year. They tend to have large amounts once every 4-6 years with very few in between.

The Pine trees I got around here don't produce pine cones. I believe they are White Pines, see 2nd image..
The Colorado Spruce does every year. Nice sized ones. Here's a pic from today
Those winters range from great to terrible for me. 2010-11 would be great for me because it would have a snowy December in North Carolina followed by a snowy February in Oklahoma, while 1998-99 was a good bit warmer than normal in both places with little-no snowfall.

So now a cool winter for us? What happened to the very warm winter that they had been forecasting for AZ&CA?
