OT: Winter Thread(hint-Winter is going to suck)

Last year we had an El Nino which induces strong southern jet stream. When you have cold air in an El Nino with a strong southern jet, you get the potential for an explosion of snowstorms which we had last year in the greatest winter of all time.
This year...NASO much....we have a Strong La NINA which promotes fast moving systems....little activity in the southern jet and usually a ridge in the East which means while Winter might start off cold and bit snowy...i fully expect it to warm up in january and February and give us above normal temps and below normal snow.
My guess for DC area 5-10 inches of snow for the entire winter and temps about 2-3 degrees above normal. If you like snow, this aint your winter people

You weather guys trip me out, trying to predict models that are constantly wrong. Have you guys ever thought about the solar wind playing a part in the equation?
The sun put out 386 Billion Billion Megawatts per second.

Jistradomus, you finally got your juju-purging snow onslaught last winter. And we got John Wall. Coincidence? Not likely.
It's obvious that you control the weather and the franchise's fate.

Snow? Already?
Too bad it's not in the metro area. But I hope we have more snow soon enought.

Here's a plan: rob a bank, then go to a bar and tell everyone how you did it. Make sure to buy them all drinks so nobody snitches.
Agree about Bosh though.
I'm going to Greenland next month. What's the weather report?

Hey, Ji.
I understand there's an outside chance of snow this Sunday.
How great are the chances and, if we are to get snow, how much?

In 2008, did you *really* go over to the Cleveland board and write:
