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!

What I've bolded would work for me, as I'm not a fan of nickel and dime events that just slop up the roads with salt. I've always been a "go big or go home" guy, and as a driver I hate a dirty truck.

I believe you'll see less salt on the roads. You might have to put chains on the truck this winter.

Yes, rock salt prices have significantly increased in Pennsylvania. Recent reports indicate that municipalities are facing sharp price hikes, with costs rising from approximately $88 per ton to around $160 per ton. This increase has prompted local governments to seek alternative suppliers and adjust their budgets accordingly. The surge in prices is attributed to various factors, including supply chain issues and increased demand during winter months

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.

I'm looking forward to your input on a potential storm this winter.
