Without checking the temps or if clouds lingered around next day I'm checking the snow depth reports.

SAV Savannah,GA only had a Trace the next morning on Feb 12th
Atlanta got a Trace with that storm which if I had just checked their data I would of never known there was a huge snowstorm down there that month.
7" recorded around here in Feb 1973, the most on record. My grandmother measured 8" at her house!
Just got a Sneak Peak at what the Red Farmers almanac is Predicting for the winter for Indiana, and I don't know whether to believe it yet but its saying a Frigid and Snow Filled winter for people in the Great Lakes and Midwest, I also hear that the Old Farmers Almanac is also likewise predicting another cold winter for Indiana, either way I know this winter will NOT be a Carbon Copy of Last Year or the year before. I am not gonna hold my breath with those predictions for this winter but I am planning on the worst and hoping for the best. And I thought that El Nino would mean that we could get a break this winter I guess that is not necessarily always the case............
I'm hoping for strong cold fronts, a deep jet stream and multiple nights of freezing temperatures. Last December was pretty nice. It'd be in the 40s in the morning but get into the 70s during the day and cool off significantly when the sun set. It was also sunny with very low humidity and low dew points.

LOL, you think winter is cold in Indiana? I lived in Wisconsin and New Hampshire for awhile, but they actually know how to plow the snow quickly and efficiently there unlike many areas of Indiana. Yes, I'm hoping for a bit more snow this winter (here in southern Indiana) as I do not prefer continual 30s for highs with pitch grey skies with little snow. However, I do like the additional moisture during the winter as I really dislike it when it gets too dry.
From a Meteo in North Carolina. Impossible to post entire write up. Very lengthy and detailed. Maybe one of you catches something else interesting or important and posts it for us.
Interesting read. Hopefully winter will be stormy, even if it comes in the form of rain. 2009-2010 had some good rain events IIRC, but decent snow as well.

So right now, all we have is potential for a Wet and Wild Winter. Will the cold come down often and mix with the extra moisture? Like in 82, 83, 87, 92, 93, 02, 03, 09, 10 Winters ?? Or will this be a warm Winter for much of the US like the 98 Nino? Each one is different. But I lean strongly right now for some areas to have an extremely active Winter with close calls, lots of cold rain, and some locations getting hit with snow ,after snow , after snow. One of my main forecast methods is the ocean layouts--warm waters, cold continents. It usually works. But that cold can be just like last year if there is a strongly positive AO, rather than a few negative NAO patterns. Meaning, we have the cold, we have the moisture, but hard to time the two. How often did we see heavy rains last Winter in the South and East (south of NYC) to see it rain, then turn cold.....with a the main longwave trough axis remaining just west of the Apps. Usually a Nino Winter will have an axis just east of the Apps. But at this stage, its too early to guess. For reasons above though, I've outlined that white rectangle region as one of the regions that might get hit time and again with precip + cold, simultaneously.

Northern Indiana by Lake Michigan gets more snow than Madison, WI. I believe South Bend averages about 80 inches of snow or so. I wouldn't say anywhere is particularly "warm" in winter, maybe compared to Wisconsin. Indianapolis is colder than say, Evansville though.

Thank You Alex985, and it if you saw earlier post on this forum you would perhaps be wondering if the prospects for snow in August in the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming and Colorado means whether the Eastern Half of the Lower 48 may be in for another long hard winter, and based on one of the winter predictions from the Farmers Almanac, IT WILL BE another Hard Winter for much of the Eastern Half or Eastern Two Thirds of the U.S....For the Third Year in a RowI guess the reasoning behind their predictions of another doozy of a winter has to do with that Damn Blob of Warm Water Over the Northeast Pacific Ocean, that has refused to budge since the winter of 2013-2014.

Or is it cut off because it would extend beyond that map?
