I take it you weren't around in the 1990s: Quote Again using the climatological period of 1981-2010, and focusing on March through the end of the cold season, 1999 leads the pack with 8.7 inches of snow. 1993 brought 6.6 inches, 2009 had 5.5 inches, 1996 finished with 5.2 inches and 1995 recorded 4 inches.

Winter Storm Quinlan brings tornado threat and warning of a ‘bomb cyclone’ with 90mph winds this weekend WINTER Storm Quinlan is set to bring a tornado threat and a bomb cyclone warning with 90mph winds this weekend. The massive winter storm is expected to affect millions of Americans, dumping heavy rain and snow - while bringing strong winds and plummeting temperatures. A winter warning has been issued for residents in Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma. Ohio, Kentucky and Mississippi. The artic blast will arrive just days after a round of snow swept through the mid-Atlantic and New England region this week, as another blanket of snow will hit Central states on Thursday. According to Weather.com meteorologist Domenica Davis, as much as a foot of snow is possible for Northeast states.

China Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 AccuWeather's 2022-2023 US winter forecast Winter is fast approaching, but AccuWeather meteorologists say that it will shape up much differently than last winter in part due to a volcano that erupted on the other side of the globe. From the abundance of acorns in the fall to the bushiness of squirrel tails, there are many fanciful forecasting techniques have been used over the years as a means to glean a glimpse of what the weather will be like in the upcoming winter. AccuWeather's approach to concocting the winter forecast, one of its most highly-anticipated seasonal outlooks, is a bit different: The process involves a team of veteran long-range forecasters analyzing computer models, looking at how previous winters have played out and using their own personal experience to determine if it's going to be a snowy winter, if and when the polar vortex will unleash Arctic air across North America and whether it will be a good season for skiers. This winter is indeed looking like a snowy one across most of the northern tier of the contiguous United States, but AccuWeather senior meteorologist Paul Pastelok says, there is more to the forecast than just snowstorms. Pastelok and his team of long-range forecasters are predicting a "triple dip La Niña," as it is the third winter in a row that La Niña will shape the weather patterns across the U.S. The regular climate phenomenon occurs when the water near the equator in the eastern Pacific Ocean is cooler than average, which in turn influences the jet stream and the overall weather patterns in North America. Despite what will be the third La Niña winter in a row, this winter will not necessarily be a carbon copy of the past two. One of the more unusual factors that could influence the overall weather patterns this winter can be traced back to a cataclysmic volcano eruption that took place in the early weeks of 2022. The volcano spewed an unprecedented amount of debris high into Earth's atmosphere which, as Pastelok will explain, could still be having an effect on the weather on a global scale. A mild winter is in the forecast for most of the southeastern U.S., but it's not the air temperature that AccuWeather meteorologists are keeping a close eye on. Instead, it's the water temperature in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic Seaboard that has meteorologists' attention. "The water temperatures are going to have a big impact going forward this season," Pastelok said. In addition to fueling an active final stretch of the Atlantic hurricane season, which officially lasts through Nov. 30, the warm waters off the coasts of the Southeast will promote frequent storms and downpours across the region as the autumn fades into winter. Some heavier rain events will be possible across the Gulf Coast states and into the Tennessee Valley from December into February, including the risk for some severe weather, Pastelok said. The best opportunity for snow or wintry precipitation across the interior Southeast will arrive in January and early February with one or two snowfall events possible in this timeframe. This is lower than last winter when there were four occasions on which snow accumulated across the region. Will snow shovels gather dust in Northeast, Midwest? A wave of chilly air swept across the Northeast and Midwest just in time for the arrival of astronomical autumn, which started on Sept. 22, but the arrival of astronomical winter on Dec. 21 may not start in a similar fashion. Residents across the Northeast and Midwest will experience a few winter previews in November and December as waves of cold air dive down from Canada, but the biggest blasts of cold air will hold off until later in the winter. The clash of cold air with lingering warmth could spark an out-of-season severe weather event in the Midwest or Ohio Valley late in November or in December. These atmospheric ingredients will also be present to generate some early-season snow, but this will not be an indicator of how the entire winter will play out, but instead, the start of a bookend winter in terms of snowfall. Snowfall for the season as a whole is likely to be below normal for most of the central Appalachians, Ohio Valley and interior mid-Atlantic, but precipitation could end up above normal with a few all-rain events likely to unfold throughout the winter.

China Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 U.P. communities digging out after October lake effect snow Many people come to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in the fall to see hills covered in gold and red leaves, but Monday the landscape was snow white. For locals, the early lake effect snow, which dropped more than 8 inches in Ironwood and 16 inches in Giles, may not be that unusual. “I remember back when I was young. I remember wearing boots and a snow jacket for Halloween just about every year,” Bob Richards said. Richards is the Department of Public Works Supervisor for Ironwood. He said his team started getting ready for snow last week. “We started preparing our equipment Thursday into Friday, making sure everything was going to be ready to go,” Richards said. Richards’ crew spent most of Sunday night into Monday plowing roads as the inches just kept falling. It’s not just the amount of snow, but the type of snow that’s fallen that is causing problems for Ironwood. “We didn’t expect this much heavy snow, because along with the heavy snow we have branches down all over,” Richards said. According to Richards, branches bending under the weight of snow has caused power outages in the area.
