Winter 2012-2013 will be "snow" joke

[HikerMom58]

Above-normal snowfall is forecast for the major I-95 cities, including New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., during winter 2012-2013

"The I-95 cities could get hit pretty good. It's a matter of getting the cold to phase in with the huge systems that we are going to see coming out of the southern branch of the jet stream this year," AccuWeather.com Lead Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok said.
The cold is expected to phase with the big storms during January and February with the potential for large snowstorms to make headlines and create travel (http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/#) headaches in the major cities.

Get your cold and snowy hiking gear out and hit the trails... should be FUN!!! :)

Humm, that seems to happen every winter at some point during Jan and Feb. I hope we get some decent snow this winter up here in the mountains. Winter is no fun without snow!

Sounds good. Good for the water table and springs.

Here in the Richmond area we are always on the transition snow/frozen precip line so I'm hopful the weather forcast includes us.

Dont mind after last winter. Would like to be able to ski on real snow not ice.

hello hmkd i hope the midwest is included in that snow,if we dont get some moistue here next year will be a disaster.seems people have seen the real you,and embraced you.i could tell you were a caring person from the start.hike on my new friend.

Im ready for snow again too. Usually we get eight inches or so in February. Everything shuts down completely for three days, then the snow melts and we go back to work. I love South Carolina.

After no snow at all last year, I'll be ready to see some more.

I know we all could use a good snow this year for many reasons. I like to see what they are predicting for the coming winter...crossing fingers!!

Hairbear, it looks MO might not get the above normal snow fall this year according to the predictions. :( I have family that live in Springfield MO so I stay in touch with happenings in the mid west. There are beautiful places to visit out there. :)

Thanks for the kind words directed to me. My wish is that everyone on here will feel accepted. Thanks good friend. :)

I agree with Slo-goen, winter, especially in the Whites, is no fun without a good amount of snow!

Can't wait! Though it was convenient this past winter for just normal hiking... did a normal overnight in January this year, which I've never been able to do before. But I'm ready for some real snow again!

up here you can't reliably predict a week ahead... long range forecasts are pointless IMHO

[Odd Man Out]

I remember a few years ago when Pittsburgh made the national news because it had gotten buried by 70 inches of snow one winter. We just laughed. I wish we only got 70 inches.

They are just as accurate here on Long Island Sound.

[Wise Old Owl]

A hundred years or more of data - serious 6 separate Roadrunner computers at Unisis tied into all those satellites.... every weather guy running around with a doctorate and understanding the
ENSO ....Priceless.

[LIhikers]

I wouldn't mind having a chance to use my snowshoes this coming winter.

[The Solemates]
