Winter '09 / '10 - Planalytics - October Update

Jim Rouiller - Meteorologist:

"An early and cold start to winter and a milder finish, with the potential for early snowpack in Canada to intensify the cold air sweeping into the United States.

"Into January, the jet stream associated with El Niño will make the South the dominant player in the U.S. weather pattern.

"In January the North Atlantic Oscillation will be negative, which can mean periodic shots of very cold air and establish a storm trend, which means a higher snowstorm threat."
