Do you believe that this 2009-10 winter will be a strong one? (catastrophic, storm) - Weather -Temperature, sun, sunlight, rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, climate, forecasts, humidity, heat, snow... - Page 4 - City-Data Forum

It depends on where you live. That should have been one of the choices. My understanding is that my part of the country (North Texas) will allegedly have a fairly mild winter, but precip will be above average.

I know in LA we don't have real winter cus there's no snow (

), but it's supposed to be El Nino and rainy so yes.

Winter has started already. Doesn't it just frost your taters?

MrMarbles · 10-14-2009, 05:23 PM

Our October is def below average. Perhaps it is foreshadowing what is to come.

I want Sept. back that's for sure, it was warmer than normal!

October has been well below normal every day so far, what is up with that and I certainly hope it isn't a sign of things to come!

The "winter" is VERY slow getting here, but in places up north that I keep track of it is certainly colder than I recall it being at this time in recent years.

I heard that northern NH will be at 15F tommorrow morning. That will get your attention in the middle of October.

How does that sit with a cold lover like you?
For those who like fall, they have to be disappointed.

Well if today is any indication of what winter will be like....it will be long and cold.

It is currently sleeting and snowing in sw CT.

…Before we all fall off the weather cliff into the abyss of hype…let us just put the low pressure area in the eastern US into perspective:

“Some” wet flakes” have mixed to the predominately rain showers across the Ohio Valley to the East Coast. There will be “zero” accumulation in places like the Tri-State area (NYC/LI/NJ/South CT) or in the Ohio Valley. Only high elevations above 1500-2000 feet might see a few slushy inches. The tempretures across much of the eastern USA are 15 to 30 F BELOW normal. This is a result on an uuasly deep trough charging toward the eastern USA. It will be over in 24 hours. And very early season flakes historically mean little in terms of the severity of the coming winter.

By early next week…as the pattern greatly flattens, the Ohio Valley and much of the East Coast south of Boston should see highs in the lower 60’s and nights near 40 F (much closer to seasonal temps).

So we can all relax (lol)
