2010-2011 Winter Forecast: South US
Good evening everyone! Hope you're having a splendid night. This is our last Lower 48 states piece, where we will focus in on the South.
Not much of any snow will come to the South this winter. To many, it will almost seem like an extended spring. Rain will still be there.
Temperatures will be warm throughout the entire Southern Half.
A note to be aware of: The area from Texas eastward may experience an active tornado season. However, only one forecast has shown this.
That's just about it.
Next, our piece will be the Alaskans.

2010-2011 Winter Forecast: Soggy and Wet Pacific Northwest.
Good evening everyone. Tonight, we'll hone in on our wet friends in the Pacific Northwest. This piece will be short and sweet.
Everyone in the Pacific Northwest NOT living in mountains will recieve a milder, certainly wetter winter. Storms in abundance, but not much for snow. Flooding could certainly be an issue.
For people living in the mountains, you've got LOADS of snow to come. All that rain down by the lower folks? That's gonna be a nice snow. Intense winter storms will be plentiful in the Rocky Mountains in the Pacific Northwest this winter.
That's about all there is to the Pacific Northwest winter.
Soggy, wet down low.
Very snowy up in the moutains.
Our last piece will be the South, posted next.
Have a good evening.

2010-2011 Winter Forecast: Heaviest Snow zone
Hello everyone. Here, we'll focus in on the much-anticipated Heaviest Snow zone. If it lives up to its name, those shovels will be pretty beaten up by the end.
States such as North Illinois, all of Wisconsin, Minnesota, into the Eastern Dakotas and Northeast Nebraska. The range includes Michigan into New York, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. All of these states are within the range that should contain the country's worst snow.
Temperature wise, the temps should be normal. However, states such as Illinois, Indiana and Ohio may recieve slightly above average temperatures this winter. Not too much of an obstacle for snow.
States in the Heaviest Snow zone, whether near the border or not, will be able to recieve heavy snow. However, states near the border may recieve a little less and more wet snow. The states a good distance away from the border should have a little more snow, and a little less wet due to decreased amount of temperature swings and proximity to the cold Canadian air reserves.
While these predictions are indeed far off, Accuweather (a main source of winter information), will release more editions of the winter forecasts, as well as another site that will not be named.
Thanks for viewing. The next zone we'll investigate will be our Pacific Northwest.
Tune in for that one!

2010-2011 Winter Forecast: Icy Zone
Hello everyone! This time, we'll be focusing in on the 'Icy Zone' mentioned in the first official post.
Now, this is a crucial zone in this winter. It is possibly the most dangerous section of this winter.
The Icy Zone is aptly named- It will contain at least a few ice storms. Whenever there's ice storms, there's school closings. So kids in Lower New England through the nation's midsection across most of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, South Dakota and Missouri can expect a snowday or two.
The Icy Zone will have extremely intense temperature swings. This is due to the warm and cold air masses colliding, hence the Icy Zone name. To many kids, it would seem like the Icy Zone is the best place to be for snowdays. You are pretty much incorrect. If you're well inside the Heaviest Snow zone, you can expect more snowdays than the Icy Zone. If you're close to the border of the Icy Zone and still inside the Heaviest Snow, you can expect abundant snow and licks of warm and cold at times.
Travelers beware- The Icy Zone will be an absolute nightmare, when -Not IF; WHEN- ice storms arrive. Thus, schools will close. Going back to the weather, temperatures in the 60s will happen, as well as temperatures in the 20s at times.
Thank you for viewing. Our Next post will be about the Heaviest Snow zone. Be sure to tune in for that.
