Question

Could one of you guys tell me what those pictures exactly mean, does that mean that the Northwest will have an above average winter?

Answer 1

It pretty much means that it is going to be wetter and with more snow, with average temperatures. Washington State average temp for the winter is about 30-40degs. Most likely whats going to happen is there will be more winter storms that will come out of Alaska. Also its going to be a dangerous season for Opillio crab fishing.

Answer 2

It means that the temperatures are going to be below normal while precipitation is going to be above normal. You can expect to see at least 1 or 2 snow or ice storms this winter, early in 2008.

Answer 3

properly, we get snow for extra or less 2-3 days each iciness. This 12 months became into the exception - surprisingly snowy. often it merely rains and continues to be in the 40's-30s all iciness long. The summers are cool, each so often slightly humid, yet not too undesirable. If it receives warm - it does not stay for long, not often is going previous 100F. often in the 80s.

Answer 4

I don't know if 'above average' is the right phrase,but it means more snow and rain than usual.
