Updated Forecast Map For Winter 2008-2009!

Above is my updated forecast map for the above and below average snowfall zones for this upcoming winter season. As you may be able to notice, I have moved the above average snowfall zone to encompass the I-95 corridor but have also lifted it a bit farther north. I no longer think all of VA and WV will see above average snowfall, but I do think the I-95 corridor from D.C. to Boston will have a heck of a winter this year. So snow lovers, this could be the one for you as El Nino and La Nina are both pretty much nonexistent right now. Other than that, the two storm tracks I show are what could alter this winter season for who gets the above average snowfall. On this map, the storm track ya'll see with the solid red line (the northern of the two red lines) is what I am using for the above and below average snowfall zones. If the broken, or southern, red line were to come true as the alternate storm track, then WV and VA would see more snow and the I-95 corridor would still be in the target zone. As far as the areas west of the Appalachian Mountains are concerned, I do not see much for you as I think a trough will cut through the Mid-Atlantic states and offshore of NJ, NY, MA, and Maine this year. This will cause the storm track to be up the East Coast instead of through the Appalachian Mountains. So that's about all I have in the way of forecast winter snowfall updates for now, so hope ya'll have a great rest of your afternoon and I'll talk to ya'll tomorrow or Monday!
