Are you dreaming of sleds and ski trips and snow days?
If so, your dream may come true. Accuweather's forecast model for this coming winter calls for the El Nino climate pattern above average snowfall in the mid-Atlantic and parts of the Midwest.
The Baltimore area sees an average of 20.2 inches of snow each winter, but we've yet to scrape that number since the 2009-10 season, when we had 77 inches of snow. The winter of 2010-11 saw 14.4 inches and less than two this past winter, according to National Weather Service data.
The Baltimore Sun, which first caught Accuweather's report, noted that the weather website's May predictions about what this summer would feel like, with plenty of severe weather in the mix, turned out to be accurate.
You tell us: How do you feel about a snowy winter? Tell us in the comments!

How can they say this, when they can't get the forcast right for the next day? Everyone has a different prediction. Whatever!

None of these forecasters are worth a damn. Just tonight (August 19) Channel 13's weather girl, Bernadette Woods, was showing their fantastic radar and saying how heavy the rain was coming down in Towson. I live about 1 mile north of Towson and we did not see one drop of rain nor did we hear any thunder from this "strong storm" as she called it.
Last week, that imbecile Marty Bass, was saying how we were going to have severe thunderstorns on Friday and "torrential rain". We all know how that went. One time, about 10 years ago, I took the predictions of the Hagerstown Almanac and the Old Farmer's Almanac and wrote them down, page by page, on my calendar at work. Each day I checked the accuracy of their predictions. They were correct less than 2% of the time.
