Title: NOAA Releases 2011-2012 Winter Outlook
Post by: WeatherWitness on October 21, 2011, 12:47:26 PM
As many of you have probably seen, NOAA has released its outlook for the winter of 2011-2012. In contrast to what the Farmer's Almanac predicted, this outlook clearly displays a La Niņa winter for the south.

I think folks who have grown up in the South appreciates seeing snow more than folks that grew up in the North because it doesn't stick around too long before you get sick of seeing it at least that's how it seems to me.

I somewhat agree. This past winter, we had snow on the ground for almost 2 straight months. I actually couldn't wait to see the ground again lol.

Geez... I will never forget last winter.  What was usually a 17-minute walk to work was so much longer, and messier, and ickier because of all the snow - that, and there are precious few sidewalks in my hometown, so I spent most of the time trudging through snow and ice in the middle of the narrow streets.  And that was the winter I broke my front teeth when I made a hard fall on the ice face first.
