Did you read the article it says wetter and colder from December through February. So I think it's on track per the article but we will have to wait and see.

Not to Lunk, ol Lunk himself, but I think what he was trying to say is that this was a La Nina affected winter season, as was last year. The problem with that statement is that while true, last year was a very rare outlier for the net results of a La Nina being in place. In general we should be cooler and near normal to above normal precip. I don't know all the details, but the people who keep tabs on this were disappointed in how the ocean and atmosphere did not interact in the manner expected. This year has thus far been much more in keeping with the NWS' expectations for a La Nina in our area. Beautifully warm Indian Summer, followed by a plunge into winter. We were a little late with the plunge, but it sure looks like winter now around here.

I think the one thing that has surprised me so far is that our wild swings from one end of the spectrum to the other (both with temps and precip) tend to be 1-2 week long swings on average. But thus far it seems like we've been seeing swings that go 2-4 weeks. That makes for a brutally cold stretch when we go into January with a downward swing.

Hows that long term wishful thinking working for you Lunk? So we've already received more snow/moisture in December than all of last winter and it's wayyyyy colder. Am I here gloating, pretty much, lol ;:;rofl

Good I will take it I like me some snow saves on the heating bill extra insulation for the roof, sewer system and drain field. It's all good and happy I was wrong

Winter of 96-97 was the year that the Red River valley got hit with over a 100 inches of snow
