What La Nina?
I might have put way too much trust into the early weather forecasts; Or maybe, I am way too impatient with La Nina. But I have to say that this December will not be a memorable month for skiers and riders in the United States. In other words, we haven;t seen much snow for the most part of December. Seriously, what happened this year? It is almost 60F in NYC, and it rains in Vermont. All I can do is to do my snow dances and hope that “the Nina” will show up later this year.

The winter outlook for 2011-2012 is in and I am forecasting a longer winter than normal with slightly more than average snowfall. Even though we could see a few snow flurries in October, we will most likely see our first inch of snow on November 15. The Thanksgiving holidays will see some wintry weather with a significant snow that weekend.
