Accuweather: Brace For Snowy Winter

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.
