[Guest]

This is the winter prediction from the Farmers Almanac from September to December for the Northeast (Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachussetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut). Kepp in mind their forecasts have been pretty accurate (they predicted Pres day storm and Hurricane Alex along with the cool summer so far). Just don't think that exactly this will happen, but hopefully it does!

SEPTEMBER:

4-7:storm from texas moves up ohio river valley, then new england, depositing heavy rain/ wet snow. very cold air follows
8-11:unseasonably cold, but quiet
12-15:heavy dose of snow
16-19:considerable clouds, but little precip.,cold nights and milder days
20-23:rain/snow then bitterly cold
24-27:the stage is se for a good old-fashioned white christmas for the region as a storm emerges out of eastern gulf of mexico and progresses north along seaboard
28-31:blustery, very cold with frequent snow showers.

The best part that I think is- you guessed it, the White Christmas snowstorm! That kind of storm( from E GOM up the Coast) Is a Nor'Easter! Hopefully it happens and we get 2+ feet of snow on Christmas!!!

The latest computer guidance begs to differ.

their forecasts arent always right, but they are fairly accurate.

I don't know how accurate it is but it always seems that the forecasts are fairly vague and cover a large region therefore you can mold anything you want out of the forecasts. It's like fortune-telling.

Because I'll be moving about 250 miles west from the tidewater area to Lynchburg I bet I'll be happy with the winter.

Farmers Almanac eh I better go check and see what they have to say for the Maritimes I had some seaweed hanging out earlier, hoping to get some indications!
