The last five winters have been dominated by periods of unseasonable warmth and brief chill. In three of those five seasons, snowfall was still above normal. Last year, however, we had our warmest and least snowy winter on record. So, what could change this winter? Unlike the last few winter seasons, waters over the eastern Pacific are now cooling, which means we’re going into a La Nina.
As we move into the winter months, we are seeing a La Nina pattern setting up. What does that mean across the country? It means a couple of things. One is that the colder air is going to be trapped over the northern Plains, while some of the milder air is over the southeast part of the country, including the Gulf coast. We’re in between that, with the jet stream riding right up into Pennsylvania. That will mean milder stretches of weather going into the winter, like we’ve seen so far in 2020. It also could mean that the colder air gets bottled up into Canada and the northern Plains, and doesn’t drift far enough south. Big snowstorms are going to be a challenge this winter, because of where the jet stream is located. That’s not to say we won’t get any snow, but major nor’easters or a lot of them just don’t seem to be in the cards here.
