We have been plagued with an extended dry spell going back now 36 some days to the last light precip that fell on 9/27. Moving into record dry territory for the Sept-Current time period. 

As I am sure you are aware there is a good chance for a weak La Nina set up once again this winter. Typically this does not favor a productive snow season for us as there will likely be fewer storms. The storm track during these seasons statistically favors more northerly latitudes and the NOAA winter outlook reflects this. The 3 month (Dec-Feb) temp outlook has us at ~50% probability of warmer than average temperatures...nothing new here, it's the way of the world, right. 

The 3 month (Dec-Feb) precipitation outlook has us in a 33-40% chance of drier than normal conditions. 

This all being laid out just as it was last year for a weak La Nina setup. We all know that the table turned in our favor last year and we beat the odds. Let's hope that happens again...just not starting off strong. Here is to hoping that the old weather saying, "the longer it waits, the heavier it comes" holds true.

I am anxious to have some good news for us soon...you will hear it here first.

Think SNOW!
