Last year when my son visited here from LA, we spent two days on Dauphin Island in shorts and T-shirts. Warmer here than in LA at Christmas time.

Does this mean another +60 feet of snow in northern California?

Drat! Does not bode well for 2018 Atlantic Hurricane season.

If the weather will be like last year I approve 100%. Not very cold and I had to shovel once or twice.

I was wondering if anybody knew where to look up what your normal temperature was supposed to be?

Although it is officially a La Nina, it is just barely so - not a particularly extreme effect, just on the the La Nina side of the average range.

Wonder if the local weather chick will freak out like the first time she mentioned an “El Nino”, thirty five years ago.

Cisgender weather terms from the Weather Channel? Surely their must be 57 better ways to identify elemental conditions.
On a less campy note, weatherbell.com says they think it’s going to be cooler on the East coast than the National Weather service is predicting. I like Joe Bastardi’s site for the daily update and Saturday summary videos.

We had 80 inches of snow in Pocatello last year compared to the normal 40 inches. Th local mountains already have some snow above 7000 ft. At my elevation of 4600 ft, we've had one small night with accumulation on the street. It didn't last until noon. Compare the 20 feet of snow piled in the middle of the cul-de-sac because there was nowhere else to put snow.

Temperatures were pretty cold last year. The airport records -19F in December. Christmas eve it was -7F as I made an emergency plumbing parts run to Lowe's before they closed the doors.
