Elim72 Posted Thursday at 03:40 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:40 PM One thing I noticed that I haven't seen in years up here. The last time I seen so many lady bugs trying to get in was the 90s. It was usually stink bugs but this year it's lady bugs. Some of those 90s winters were nice in the snowfall department here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have spotted lantern flies fluttering around at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted yesterday at 11:19 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:19 AM Steve DiMartino's winter forecast. It's NY/NJ/PA centric, but his maps include part of this forum fwiw. https://nynjpaweather.com/public/2026/10/30/winter-forecast-2026-27/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This prediction triples that, so I’d love to see it actually happen. I’m a tad more bearish but we only need one storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take that in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve25 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago I feel like we know what every winter forecast is going to be. Overall above average temps and precip. Snowfall predictions will come down to either keeping it in the single digits because of the above average temps, or calling your shot on 15”-20”+ because of a big one having just the right timing. Then there will be those that just take the “safe” route and go in-between those two options. The funny thing being that the people shouting that a shutout type of winter is in play, and the ones saying the big one is in play, don’t have much different winter outlooks. It’ll ultimately come down to luck with timing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Well we clear the very end of October with no strong coastal in time frame and let’s now hope we can do same 11/25-11/30 for favorable analog trend and current mildness also bodes well historically 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago We are flirting with 1965 when a severe drought continued thru 1966. The + 1.8 DJF 65-66 El Nino did NOT break the 4 year drought. I simply report historical reality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTy Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Weatherbell has their winter forecast out. Slightly above normal snow for DC. We're in the +1F DFN for temp though it seems to be front weighted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in the +1F DFN for temp though it seems to be front weighted. So, by inference that might imply the expectation of a somewhat back-loaded winter? (ETA: a +1 departure for the season actually sounds pretty amazing, relative to some of the +4 to +6 I've seen tossed around. +1 would indicate some good opportunities for solid events can occur; +4 or +6 implies shit the blinds, and "party" like it's 2022-23!).

I think it was just a preview of their winter forecast to premium members so they didn't break out month by month but it seemed JB was pretty clear that the numbers hinge on December being warmer. But he also indicated there's a chance for December to come in much colder and admitted it would blow their forecast if it did. Who knows, I guess I'll have to wait for the detailed forecast to come out to see what they really think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If JB was worried about a blown forecast, he shouldn't limit it to just December as the cause. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elim72 Posted 29 minutes ago Share Posted 29 minutes ago I have a feeling December could suprise everyone. We are in uncharted territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
