PNW 2006-2007 Winter: Colder than Normal with Above Avg. Snowfall

George Taylor just released his annual Fall and Winter predictions and already I can feel the excitement of the coming winter. With analog years such as 2003-2004 (Snow and Ice Event), 1996 (Extreme Flooding and a December Ice Event) and 1951 ( Major Windstorm in Nov. 2 Wind Storms in December, Tornado in December near Eugene and a large; widespread snowstorm in March) I think this winter has the potential to be a blockbuster. We are, for one, overdue for a windstorm, and snowfall has become more rare, we are overdue for more snow as well. It is also important to note that we have better chances to see snow in the exact pattern we are in (Neutral-Weak El'Nino) which surprised me at first. The main story here, expect a good winter. Check out his predictions, as well has his buds predictions at the bottom of the page. Take Care!
