We interrupt Red October to bring you this weather bulletin: We might be looking at a White December, January and February.
And in the meantime, we’re going to get wet. Real wet.
The region is bracing for a double-whammy, courtesy of Mother Nature. A nasty Nor’easter is expected to batter the region much of the day. And that will just be Round 1 of the wet, raw, cold weather. Round 2 will arrive right on its heels, giving us a second dose of wet weather that is likely to drench our weekend.
The unusually early storms are expected to do some serious damage down at the beach, washing away much of those annual beach replenishment projects in which tons of sand are pumped onto the beach to replace what was washed away last year.
Hey, it could be worse. In some areas of the Poconos and out at State College, they are likely to get accumulating snow later today.
All of this has some forecasters wondering if we are in for an especially cold, snowy winter.
Here’s the call from Accu-Weather. Don’t blame us. We’re just the messenger. They are calling for above average snow, likely somewhere in the mid-20s in terms of inches. Last year we got 23 inches of snow, most of it in March.
And one final thought. While we surrender to the nation of turning on the heat, we can sit in front of the TV tonight and watch that famously laid-back California crowd arriving in shorts and T-shirts for tonight’s Game 1 of the NLCS.
Game time temperature in LA. is expected to be 79 degrees.
No wonder they call it California Dreamin’.
