Predictions for Winter 2015, Worse Than Last Year!

Last winter I comforted myself with the thought that we would never again have a winter as cold with as much snowfall.  Loudoun County students missed 14 days of school!  (Fortunately they have an unlimited number of snow days.) Now I read that our kids could miss even more days in the coming winter!  The coming winter may be even worse than last year.   First Hand Weather has published their winter forecast by region: [read_more]

Mid-Atlantic: The Mid-Atlantic could even see a snowier winter than last winter and likely experience well-below average temperatures. This winter could rival some of the “snowpocalyptic” winters that occurred a few years back, which will likely end up making this a highly discussed topic throughout the winter. This will likely be a wetter-than-average winter for the Mid-Atlantic, and this region will likely feel the effects of low pressure systems bombing off the East Coast. This area will probably be impacted by several storms this season and may even feel the effects of a pre-season storm that may try to develop.

Most of the south will have below average temperatures and more snow:

This forecaster agrees, colder than average winter with more snowfall than average.

Farmers Almanac is also predicting a colder than average winter and a hotter than usual summer.
