Wow, even Canada is having a warmer winter than normal? So is Ohio. We are supposed to get a little blast of it this weekend but usually by now we are knee deep in snow and cold.

The 'big snowstorm' that was supposed to hit here looks like it will fizzle. Not gonna lie, I like the snow and miss it. I like throwing snowballs for the dogs to chase, making snowangels and snowmen (yes I am such a kid sometimes at 22). Sure, the shoveling part is a drag, but that doesn't take tooo long and is great exercise.

No winter here yet, either....must be that global warming we've heard so much about. Wonder what this summer will look like....

I know there's one out there for Canada as well, but here's NOAA's USA Winter 2011-2012 outlook, released in mid Oct 2011. Last winter, they missed it completely for my area, and Farmer's Almanac nailed it. Haven't seen Farmer's this year yet, but NOAA's accompanying text said something to the effect of "Texas' drought will continue thru winter and into Spring 2012"..
"Drier" btw, means "drier than normal".
I have heard they modified this outlook in Nov, but haven't seen in what way yet.
More on this in a minute.
Note the date:
(and kindly ignore where my finger got x-rayed trying to cover the camer flash. Took it from my upstairs window and the flash went thru my finger, reflected right back off the glass into the camera lens, and made it almost look like a thermonuclear mushroom cloud.)
Did I mention how much I really really hate wading cold water to lead cattle to high ground?

I am thinking NOAA missed that prediction. Hopefully the flooding on your property doesn't get any higher D:greybeard said:
The NOAA outlook says my area will be cooler and wetter. But it has both been a warm winter and a dry one. We're missing over half of our average snowfall. And the ice fishermen are grumpy because there is no ice!

We are having torrential rains, warm temps...have had one or two light snows that didn't accumulate. Very unusual weather for our area and at this time of year.

So sorry Greybeard. You look like a lot of areas in New Jersey. Hoping it drys up soon.
Just crazy weather patterns.
I won't ask the Rain God to send you any more rain from New Jersey.
It just seems awfully strange weather patterns. Hoping some sense of it comes soon.
