2012-2013 winter forecast!!

The 2012-13 winter forecast has finally come.First,I would like to say the east and northeast will have the most snowfall.The Great Lakes will have at least one major snowstorm that will likely be caused do to Lake effect snow.Lake effect snow will be a big part of the winter in the great lakes and that will be caused by a positive NAO,faster more common NW wind,west based El Nino which helps snow in the east,greenland block which helps major snowstorms,and a positive PNA which was the key role in the Chicago blizzard.This is why I think the great lakes will have a major Lake effect snow blizzard this year.Moving on to the rest of the country,it will be mild in the northwest with a few slush snowstorms,possible snow drought in the rocky mountains,above normal snow in the midwest,average snow in the pacific mountains average temps and wet.
