GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — It may not feel like it, but it’s actually still Fall. Winter hasn’t even arrived, despite what it may have felt like the past month.
Timm Uhlmann is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, he says that Fall was fairly normal, at least temperature wise.
“It was kind of a typical fall, but maybe we’re not used to that because the past couple of years have been unusually warm,” Uhlmann told WTAQ.
It wasn’t all normal. It was wet…and snowy.
“We has somewhere between one-and-a-half and two times as much precipitation as we normally have,” said Uhlmann.
The increased precipitation is expected to keep up through the winter, for better or worse. Uhlmann says there is neither an El Nino nor a La Nina effect in the ocean currents this year, and that’s usually how forecasters can predict long-term seasonal temperature trends.
“We’re forecasting for about a 30% chance or so of above-average precipitation,” said Uhlmann. “But there’s no real signal for unusually warm or cold.”
Don’t put away your snowblower. Winter officially starts this Saturday, December 21st.
