NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) meteorologists have issued the final U.S Winter Season Outlook, reiterating once again that this winter is likely going to be warmer than the 30 year norm. Which is data collected from 1971-2000. However, it does look like it is going to be cooler than last year's winter. From the image to the left (courtesy of NOAA) you can see that much of the upper U.S is expected to warmer than normal across the Pacific Northwest, northern and central Plains,
Midwest, and northeast. Meanwhile, precipitation is expected to be above normal in the southern part of the country and drier than normal in the Ohio and Tennessee River Valleys and in the northern Rockies. Read more about the 2006-2007 Winter Oulook by

I am afraid you are right! Check the archives for the official 13News Winter Forecast. -ERIC
Any data on last years avg temps by month? All I remember is a few cold spells last year everything else is a blur. We did have a few significant snow falls. Bring back the winter of 79. huh
If you'd like last year's data, just copy and paste this link in your browser: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/lot/?n=rfdmonthly
Wouldn't it be nice to have some snow like 1979? We've got the photos in an album where my brother Mike jumped off the roof of our Rockford-ranch. I'd love to try that but my 30year old body'd probably collapse! :) -ERIC
