What will the Winter of 2011/12 bring?

Here's my best guess right now. I'll refine it as time goes on. It may change - but it won't change alot.......

Pow County will see Seasonal "Average Daily" Temps up thru Dec - then Jan, Feb, and Mar will be 3 Degrees Below Average.


Nov:
Average Snowfall - 2.1"
Forercast - 2.5"

Dec:
Average Snowfall - 6.5"
Forecast - 7.5"

Jan:
Average Snowfall - 8.1"
Forecast - 10"

Feb:
Average Snowfall - 7.2"
Forecast - 8.5"

Mar:
Average Snowfall - 3.8"
Forecast - 4.5"

Our Average Snowfall between November and March is 27.7". I'm forecasting a Total Snowfall of 33.0" - which is 5.3" Above Normal for the time period.

April: We'll see an inch or two early April.
