bigjimslade Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) NOAA which runs the National Weather Service issued their winter weather outlook today. Below is a link to that report and may give us a idea on BF. http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2009/20091015_winteroutlook.html Edited November 17, 2009 by bigjimslade changed title
i.feature Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 So basically they don't really have a clue till the snow starts falling, or in some cases there's a foot already on the ground
AuntieJul Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 So basically they don't really have a clue till the snow starts falling, or in some cases there's a foot already on the ground For real! My area has equal chances of being colder or warmer, drier or wetter than average. Which I guess is why it's called an average. Still, we're due for flurries in the next 24 hours or so...
wnc_mom Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 whhooo hooo lots more precipitation and below avg. temps for me!!!! We need a good snowy winter again! We only get 1 good snow a year here lately! Im ready for another bizzard!!! lol
stacyk9 Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Aww, poopsicles. Drier and average temps. I guess I should be happy. We've had horrible ice storms the past two years. Hopefully we'll have at least one good snow!
wx4svr Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Guys... don't take NOAA for much. They are the ONLY ones forecasting a drier and average temperate winter. Most sources are saying cold and snowy for the winter. One of the best sites that I have found is http://snowday.community.officelive.com/default.aspx
wx4svr Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Here are some graphics from Snow Day... they were about the best last year... this is for this year. http://aquate.us/u/2nd_b_t.bmp http://aquate.us/u/new_pre.bmp http://aquate.us/u/ice_map.bmp http://aquate.us/u/WINTER_.bmp
conj Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 thank you for posting. must find out shovels....
HansieDZ Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 I don't care what anybody says,I'm going with that site that wx4svr posted! Below average temps and above average precip = one happy Hansie :) BRING IT ON
len_mullen Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 I swear by the farmers almanac and we're looking at heavy snow in New Hampshire for BF!
georgiapeach717 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 looks like it may be a white....or at least icey...christmas for me in N GA! woohooooo!!!
aerosmithgirl Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 looks like it may be a white....or at least icey...christmas for me in N GA! woohooooo!!!I'm with you!! I live in NW GA and it looks like we are going to hopefully have some white this year!! We never seem to get it! What part of GA do you live in??
Talama Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 OMG ANY chance of lower temperatures would be GREAT here in Miami! We're having our first "cold" snap (high of 70, low 58) today and tomorrow, then back to the 80s. It's been in the 90s up until now so far in October! That's nuts even for us. I would really enjoy wearing my sweaters a few extra times this season, so I will be hoping NOAA is right!
slinkster65 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Yay, just what we need in Gerogia, above average precip!! Didn't we just have major flooding in the metro? Oh well, maybe a couple extra days of classes off b/c of ice and/or snow!
beccas302 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 For real! My area has equal chances of being colder or warmer, drier or wetter than average. Which I guess is why it's called an average. Still, we're due for flurries in the next 24 hours or so...*sighs* it's a sad day when my hometown gets flurries before my current home in Alaska does...
DramaQueenLucy Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 We are right in the middle of that mess....figures
georgiapeach717 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 i am in cherokee county :) and yes, rain is frowned on, but i think i could let it slide if the wet was white for a change! heehee! plus i am one of the wierdos who thinks ice storms are beautiful...last time i enjoyed "ice skating" down the road in sneakers with my little brother! ha!!
pampam Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 The NOAA forecasts for this part of Georgia were consistently wrong last winter. Even the Weather Channel website was more up-to-date and accurate. Then I found AccuWeather.com and rarely check NOAA or TWC now. Some of the folks who post in the site's forum are better at forecasting winter precipitation than professional meteorologists and I've learned a lot from reading their explanations. It's been quite awhile since we had a major snow or ice storm. Snow for Christmas would be fantastic!
AuntieJul Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 *sighs* it's a sad day when my hometown gets flurries before my current home in Alaska does...Fortunately for us we've been snow-free for the season so far, despite many forecasts... Central PA and the Catskills have not been so lucky...
Elmck Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I would like to see at least one good snowfall for our area, a few inches here shuts everything down.
Tigger97498 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Yuck im right in the middle of that significant ice storm threat
herculesmomma Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Glad I bought the snow blower last year. Another year of above average snowfall in Michigan - yipee - not!
jerseygurl Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I remember a couple of years ago it was snowing and last year is was just very cold. I am praying for a very mild night here in central Jersey. The weater channel - calling for a few showers and 38 degrees. Looks like I will be taking and umbrella this year, ughhh!
rogue1230 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Oh I did a few days ago, but it was too far out for them to give me anything but averages.
Jen8112 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I can only get up to Wednesday...49 and showers. I hope not for Thursday night!
queenofshopping Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Hmm...rain up to Wednesday (please god no) but much warmer than usual.
