Extreme Cold Winter Ahead... Similar to last yr

Sorry about not updating the blog and site in a while. Here at SA Photography we have been busy booking weddings for 2012 and editing!


The 2012 wedding season is approaching so contact Scott today for your big day!!!


This week I found this article online all about the coming winter and what we can expect weather-wise for the upcoming winter season.


According to Accuweather forecasters this could be an extremely cold winter for the Chicago area.
As most of us say "will believe it when we see it." Forcasting weather this far in advance is skeptical. Meteorologists have also predicted snow in Southern Illinois by Halloween... 


A Private forecaster Accuweather.com said Wednesday that heavy snow and extreme cold should be expected in the north central United States, especially in the Chicago area, in the coming winter.
Accuweather's forecast projects Chicago will again be hit by extreme cold weather and several blizzards, as it endured last winter when more than 50 inches fell on the city including a single storm that dropped 20 inches. "People in Chicago are going to want to move after this winter,"Accuweather Long-Range Meteorologist Josh Nagelberg said in a statement.

Severe cold and heavy snow should expected from the Great Lakes across the Midwest and northern plains states, a very similar pattern like last year, according to Accuweather.

La Nina, the name for a recurring phenomenon when sea surface temperatures across the central and eastern Pacific Ocean are below normal, will fuel weather across North America, including a persistent flow of tropical moisture that brings heavy rains to the West Coast called the "Pineapple Express.

It does seem far fetched but La Nina is back again so will see if the so called "expert" meterologists are right. Stay warm everyone. Will take these 70's and low 80's right now and I cant complain one bit. :) 


Have a great weekend everyone!!!




Other areas around the country for winter weather predictions...


The East Coast faces average to slightly above average snowfall during the winter of 2011-2012 as a Pacific La Nina again drives weather patterns across the United States.

The southeastern United States could again see flooding in the lower Mississippi Valley in late winter, Accuweather said.

Dry, mild weather is expected over most of the southwestern United States, with no relief seen for drought-stricken Texas.

The Mid-Atlantic states could see snow and ice with South Carolina and Georgia seeing rain. Florida should expect a mild, dry winter.
