MSNBC???..Come on Colonel..you will be brainwashed!

If you CK out the 2nd lower(precip)map it will tell the La nina story of a cooler wetter NW with a drier warmer SE but more important for us mid atlantic skiers is the swath of wet just to the west of us heading up to the great lakes.
That moisture is from the storms that will pass to the west of us & then we will have to wait for the cold fronts on the backsides to give us some snow & cold. Of course this benefits the Western highlands mostly.
I bet the NE can overcome this pattern & end up with a good year. The allegheny front high Country will suffer thru the rain to get to the snow but will survive IMHO...lets hope for other factors to help the lowlands.

PS..Joe Bastardi (Accuweather) thinks we will see an early winter for the east before it mellows out so i'm taking a week off before x-mass to go skiing!...just in case...
