Weather Prediction for Winter 2008 / 2009

Hello loyal readers, you know from previous posts that I have been really concerned about the 08-09 winter and the amount of snowfall we might and might not be getting. Well I just came across so information that doesn’t paint a very good picture for this years winter season in the coastal mountains of Canada, which includes Whistler.

I search the net franticly in find information that would give me an idea of what to expect this winter. A good reference that I have used for the last couple of years is the Farmer’s Almanac, which is pretty accurate from year to year.

Below are a couple links that predict the next couple of months:

As you can see from the information above the temperature for the pacific Canada will be seasonal but the big kicker is that there will be less precipitation….meaning possibility less snow.

Well thinking positively I hope we these predictions do not come to fruition and we here in Whistler have a season full of powder days.

Take care and happy trails on the slopes.
