The Climate Prediction Center has released their annual Winter Outlook. It covers the months of December, January and February, which considered is meteorological winter even though the winter solstice isn't until December 21st. The last four winters coast to coast have been mild. This year's winter we are projected to see a slight El Nino, and much of the United States is favored to see warmer than normal temperatures.
This year's temperature outlook favors slightly warmer temperatures for the Stateline area. What is interesting is that no part of the United States is favored to see cooler than normal temperatures. That doesn't mean there won't be cold and snowy days, but on average for the 90 days between December and February we should see slightly warmer than average temperatures.
This year's precipitation outlook does not favor either drier or wetter than normal for the Stateline area. We have an equal chance of seeing above, near or below average precipitation. In this seasonal outlook, precipitation is not necessarily snowfall.
