Is this a harbinger for the Pacific Northwest this winter? Weather forecaster AccuWeather has boldly called for a colder-than-usual winter for the West Coast of southern B.C.

AccuWeather guesses the 20011-12 West Coast winter will be one of the coldest three winters in the past 20 years around Vancouver and Victoria.

Then we learn that the Sierras just received about 10 inches of snow last Friday evening. “According to the Central Sierra Snow Lab, this is the first snowstorm in 96 days – since July 1 – marking the shortest duration between storms in the Sierra since 1969.”

Not to put a damper on things, but The Old Farmers Almanac writes

Winter temperatures will be above normal, on average, especially in the south. Precipitation will be above normal in the north and below in the south, with below-normal snowfall. The coldest and snowiest periods will occur in late December, early to mid-February, and early March.
