Winter '09 / '10 - Weather Trends International

"For a year now, WTI has been projecting a more typical El Nino Winter pattern with the active jet stream split along the Southern tier of the U.S. bringing a lot of rain to the parched Southwest and Texas with the other jet stream well up in Canada with only occasional very cold snaps for the later half of Winter.

"This also suggests an active threat for the East Coast for a few Nor’easters with snowfall up 30% to 100% over last year for the major cities from Washington D.C. to Boston, less well inland. In this case we agree with the Almanac forecast along with the potential for a brutal February and March in terms of late Winter cold and bigger snow events."
