They say that no one can predict
what the weather will do even a week or so down the road, so why am I
taking a stab at predicting a whole season?
According to the Farmer's Almanac,
the coming winter season here in southwest Missouri will be 'very
snowy with typical temperatures'.
The Weather Channel sates, 'A colder than average winter may be on the horizon for portions of the Southwest, Southern Plains, Southeast and East Coast, according to a December 2015-February 2016 temperature outlook released by The Weather Channel Professional Division on Friday.
And then, there's this from the NOAA - 'Forecasters at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center issued the U.S. Winter Outlook today favoring cooler and wetter weather in Southern Tier states with above-average temperatures most likely in the West and across the Northern Tier. This year’s El Niño, among the strongest on record, is expected to influence weather and climate patterns this winter by impacting the position of the Pacific jet stream.'

So what's the distillation of those
three sources? I'd tend to sum them up by stating that it might be a
good idea to invest in a snow shovel early on.... You can always check in at www.taneyservices.com for up to the minute weather graphics and forecasts for southwest Missouri!
