Blizzard of 93

Lol, I’ve been around on here a little bit during the offseason! I really don’t do outlooks or predictions of my own, but I do read the upcoming Winter thoughts of pro forecasters & respected posters from the various regional forums on this website. The main theme with this strong El Niño appears to generally show that above normal average temperatures are likely for December & possibly average above normal throughout the Winter. In terms of snow, there should be a greater chance of high impact coastal storms. Of course, the unknown is if we can time up some periods of at least normal seasonal cold, especially during the heart of Winter from mid January to mid February. The hope for snow lovers is that we can time up an active subtropical jet with some periods of blocking with it being just cold enough. The 1 historic storm & done type of Winter is on the table as well, such as 2016 or 1983. Maybe we get lucky with extended periods of blocking, with several chances, such as 09-10 ? Maybe it’s just too warm for much snow, such as the Winters of 97-98 or 19-20 ? Hopefully we will have a chance of at least 1 block buster snowstorm in the heart of Winter! Either way, I look forward to tracking it all with you guys on here again this season!

Low of 32 here in Marysville. First frost & first freeze this season are now in the books for me.

I’m at 2.70, but I agree, those showers in Maryland look to be heading towards the LSV, so maybe we will tack on more overnight.

When is everyone going out to shovel & plow?

I just crossed the 2 inch mark in Marysville. 2.02 with rain continuing currently.

Low of 44 in Marysville. Beautiful Fall day is ahead before the beneficial rain tomorrow.

Low of 42 in Marysville. Agreed, lower than what I expected.

40 for my Marysville low.

Safe travels & sorry to hear about your surgery! Hopefully you will be healed up for Winter storm tracking & shoveling!

I am looking forward to tracking the first frost/freeze!

Last night’s sunset was very beautiful.
