As has been mentioned, we look to have a back to back to back Nina for the first time since 2000-01.  How long this hangs on as a Nina is doubtful though as there are some indications it may fade rather early.  

I don't know if anybody has an outlook out yet (other than the Farmers Almanac lol) but post them here, or just any winter thoughts in general.

  • Snow in April, dear god make it stop

Need to shake up the crap December trend.  Definitely on my wish list.

Will be interested to see if we can shake things up a bit. We have really been stuck in a very persistent odd pattern. Really want a good December.  After quite a few great decembers in the 2000s, since 2011, only 2016 and 17 were great. The way the past decade has gone locally, a betting man would go:

Oct- mild but flakes before Halloween 

Nov- chilly and snowy

Dec- warm, few fluke snows

Jan- pretty avg

Feb- snow, snow, snow & more snow 

Mar- zzzzz and mild

Apr- cold, late month snowstorms 

May- frosty mothers day, hot memorial day

it's early, but winter thread has been tame. I'll help. Has anybody seen JB's call for the winter? Cold and snowy or Vodka Cold with record shattering, roof collapsing , retina burning eye blinding repeat blizzards commencing on the Thanksgiving Holiday? Caveat snow holes in Cedar Rapids, IA and Mchenry, IL. Carnage all around.

I am submitting dibs on the first witnessed snow of the new season. We are in far NW Montana at Glacier National Park and on our very early morning hike to Hidden Lake at 6,000 feet there was a dusting of snow on the boardwalk at the trail head. This is Mrs. I Love Snow trying not to slip. She, is not a snow and cold fan...thus the scowl on her face. We must endure what we must endure. True I cheated, but I claim first snow of the 2002-2003 winter season.:sled:

No description available.

The Hunga eruption is an interesting wild card, as something like that doesn't happen all the time.  Not sure how much of an impact it will have.

Oh, and I might scream if this part of the outlook comes to fruition and it means another lackluster December/holiday period:

 

"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."
