How do you think this winter is going to turn out for the Northeast this season?

Asked by Gabrielle Enos about 10 years ago

Honestly, Gabrielle, I'm not a huge fan of seasonal outlooks. That said, here is a great resource from the good folks at the Climate Prediction Center: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/ Thanks!

I live in southern Missouri on a south facing ridge and have lived here since 2006. It seems that this year, beginning in February and continuing thru today(4/10/16) the strong winds have been relentless Why is that? Thank you.

Asked by Anne almost 9 years ago

The general storm pattern favors that this year, Anne. Air flows clockwise and toward the center of a low pressures area, so storms to your west, which some have been, produce a south wind.

Asked by Courtnee over 10 years ago

Hi, Courtnee!  I first studied Radio-TV-Film at Texas Christian University, then Broadcast Meteorology at Mississippi State.  I think you might have some trouble getting into weather with a geology degree.  You might ask for some advice and a visit from a local television station and/or National Weather Service office (weather.gov).  Good luck!

The local TV station often mentions reduced visibility and it might be something like 1/2 mile or 1 mile. What the heck difference does this make? Quite often you can't see that far ahead anyway because of hills or curves in the road.

I would say yes, Eric. Which is a little unnerving since I'm a broken down old man!
