The 2012-2013 Winter Season is expected to be a busier year, especially in the East where most locations had very little snowfall last year in the heart of the season. Last year was also a mild winter for many areas extending from the northern Plains to the Northeast. A higher use of snow equipment and higher fuel bills compared to last year is expected for the East.
For the East:
Snowfall should average above normal for the lower and central Appalachians extending toward the Hudson Valley and southern New England. We believe that snowfall will average closer to normal for the interior Northeast through northern New England. Here is our snowfall map for 2012-13 season which includes the fall and spring season. A good portion of the snowfall in the Rockies will occur in the fall and more spread out during the winter season.

Any thoughts?
Looks good! Just hope the snow and cold actually happens for the Northeast especially NY state
I have very little faith in the Weather channel or in Accuweather, considering they believed last winter was supposed to be a doozy and it was pretty much boring beyond belief with NO snow. Its long range and weather is changing ALOT, day to day. They will have that updated again come mid to late October.
i have alot of faith in accuweather and weather.com
We’re starting to see a bit of a pattern shape up I think… we’re getting continual troughs and cold shots for much of the country with warm weather for the west and Alaska… time will tell if it sticks around for winter.
This looks good to me-hopefully your prediction of a lot of snow will for the East will come true.
Here in CT the squirrels have been very busy, and the amount of spiders is ridiculous. I have never seen such a large number and variety of spiders.
Squirrels and spiders have been busy here to in the midwest – and the best and butterflies are going nuts as well. I’ve seen ALOT of high spiders webs off of the ground and the squirrels always have a nut in their mouth.
Oh I like it alot.
Seen alotta squirrels gathering nuts today…and for the past couple of months too..along with a few other things to point to a possible -awesome- winter for my area. Spiders are making large webs…although…not necessarily high off the ground. Bees are still active which is odd. we’ll see what happens.
Looks like a typical El Nino forecast. Main part I disagree with is that I think the heart of winter will be in the midwest and GL, and I don’t think the NW will be quite that warm.
and for the east coast, too
