If you click on it, it is a email redirect instead. The second is you have "quite" instead of "quiet" in the next to last sentence.<br /><br />John Sacrey<br />http://salineweather.comJohn Sacreyhttp://salineweather.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914987.post-11375723443901262142012-11-15T21:23:32.903-06:002012-11-15T21:23:32.903-06:00It's interesting that the NWS service is going...It's interesting that the NWS service is going with an above average precip for this winter. I've noticed our rainfall over the last month or so has been quick hitting. We really need a good soaking over the next 3 months and I hope we get it. It does seem that El Nino has died after what appeared to be a fast start in late August through early October. <br /><br />If slightly warmer than average temps play out, this outlook is plausible. I'm thinking we will have to enjoy our cold snaps when they come and hope the timing is right for snow or sleet, otherwise we are staring at an ice storm which by the way is far overdue for Central Arkansas. I sure hope we don't see a repeat of 12 years ago.<br /><br />I think if we have any winter at all this year, it will be short lived UNLESS a blocking high over Greenland sets up and the AO stays negative for a few weeks. That would be nice to see a repeat of 2 and 3 years ago wouldn't it? <br />I remember growing up having near 80 in January and then 20's the next day. You have to get lucky for tornadoes not to accompany. We may not be so lucky this winter since it has been so quiet. Extreme weather is here to stay, so expect the unexpected. Sandy is a prime example.<br /><br />Snowbird, stay humble and keep expectations low this winter so we can be pleasantly surprised. I am in the warm camp this winter with quick shots of cold. Let's hope it mixes with some snow or sleet.<br /><br />Michael Bodiak The Weather FanaticThe Weather Fanaticnoreply@blogger.com
