Winter 2011-2012: Brutal for the Midwest, Great Lakes

[link to www.accuweather.com]

Hands down, AccuWeather.com's long-range experts agree that the Midwest and Great Lakes region will be dealt the worst of winter this year.

In terms of both snow and cold, this winter is expected to be the worst in Chicago.

AccuWeather.com Long-Range Meteorologist Josh Nagelberg even went so far as to say, "People in Chicago are going to want to move after this winter."

However, for the worst of winter's cold alone, the AccuWeather.com Long-Range Forecasting Team points to Minneapolis.

The team also highlights Buffalo, N.Y., Indianapolis and Omaha, Neb., as cities that will have to deal with a hefty amount of snow.

brutal cold is the worst for me...why i moved to san diego!

yay all the snowbirds will be LEAVING

Fimbulwinter precedes Ragnarok

I live just south of Buffalo NY......Brrr, What else is new. We are putting extra wood in the basement. Just finished stacking two cords. Five more to go.....I think.

AccuWeather.com Winter 2011-2012 Forecast: Another Brutal One

[link to www.accuweather.com]

The AccuWeather.com Long-Range Forecasting Team is predicting another brutally cold and snowy winter for a large part of the country, thanks in large part to La Niña... yet again.

La Niña, a phenomenon that occurs when sea surface temperatures across the equatorial central and eastern Pacific are below normal, is what made last year's winter so awful for the Midwest and Northeast. Monster blizzards virtually shut down the cities of New York and Chicago. Last winter was one of New York City's snowiest on record....

Apart from the Southwest, people across the western United States can expect large swings in weather conditions throughout the winter, according to the AccuWeather.com Long-Range Forecasting Team.

December is likely to feature above-normal warmth across much of the entire West. However, from late December into January, the team expects a transition where cold fronts will drop farther south along the West Coast, reaching northern and central California. This transition should bring temperatures back near normal, away from the interior Southwest.

The famed "Pineapple Express," a phenomenon that occurs when a strong, persistent flow of tropical moisture sets up from the Hawaiian Islands to the West Coast of the U.S., could develop for a time this winter. This phenomenon often leads to excessive rain and incredible snow events.

OP, please go ahead and ban you know who from this thread...he was here yesterday w/ a link to his site/opinion on this. Thanks in advance.

It's that damn global warming i tell ya!

Bring it on hope we get 20 feet of snow this year.

Nagelberg is such a doosh. Guy has the most annoying voice. I doubt he's right.

you are ready for the ice age now?

Winter 2011-2012: Drought-Stricken Texas, Southwest Stay Parched

[link to www.accuweather.com]

"Mild and dry" will unfortunately be the mantra this winter for much of Texas and the Southwest, a region that desperately needs rain.

Texas continues to suffer through the worst drought in its history, with 100 percent of the state experiencing drought conditions and nearly 86 percent in an exceptional drought, the most severe category.

Precipitation is expected to remain below normal in southern and western Texas and the interior Southwest this season.

Winter 2011-2012: Southeast Set for Severe Storms, Ice

[link to www.accuweather.com]

The Long-Range Team expects areas from northeastern Texas and Oklahoma into Kentucky and Tennessee to deal with more ice than snow events this winter, especially from early to mid-season.

Occasionally, icing could affect areas farther east into the western Carolinas and northern parts of Alabama and Georgia, especially in January.

The team also expects a significant risk for severe weather and flood events to develop over the lower Mississippi Valley in February. Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, which were devastated by tornadoes in the spring, will be extremely sensitive to any severe weather outbreaks.

...snow? In Buffalo? In the winter?...this is what passes for news?

LOL! this is funny! They said the same thing about Florida after Katrina hit New Orleans.

I live in Chicago, and yes i hate it here. This city is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy over rated! SUCKS! Everyone here is a FIB
Freakin Illinois Bastard! I hope this city get's SHIT on with SNOW! we had the 3footer earlier this year. That was fun, but Cold winters are normal here. Nothing new. Actually, I enjoy the cold. If things are going to get as bad as they say they are going to get, then Illinois would look more like the Artic. State's been around for many years! This winter is nothing... Bring on the snow

Climate change, or whatever the fuck, seems to be turning the US into the New Siberia.

Siberia is going to growing all the food in the future if this keeps up

i lived in urbana a looooong time ago - don't remember super cold winters but I was little...

Sounds like you need to MOVE!!

long as they keep the fire extinguishers handy

why provoke THEM to carry on about cLIMate cHANGe ?

I love the cold, I love the snow, I love winter....I cannot wait until we receive our first measurable snow fall.

i like snow...for short periods when i don't have to shovel it or drive in it...

but massive snow and cold have killed many...

last winter may have been a "warm up" for a worse one this year. I hope everyone gets as prepared as possible.

I happen to believe we are on the cusp of the next major ice age...hope I'm wrong.
