winter outlook

My Winter forecast is based on looking for the similarities in all the other seasonal forecasts and fine-tuning them for northern Vermont.

At this point, it looks like near, or slightly above average temperatures, with snow cover that, off and on throughout the season, builds quickly, then shrinks.

A reminder, that even with slightly above average temperatures overall, there can still be extended periods of bitter cold (we are talking Winter in Vermont). In addition, the snow cover forecast is for the lower elevations, and indicates that when we have it, we should enjoy it.
