Farmers Almanac has just released their long range forecast for the winter of 2011 – 2012. From the looks of it, the Farmers Almanac is in agreement that the weather in the United States during the winter of 2011 – 2012 will be strongly influenced by La Nina. This means that the Pacific North West will receive above average amounts of snowfall during the upcoming winter with below average snowfall for the South West. Here is the official prediction made by the world famous winter weather guide The Farmers Almanac.
Farmers Almanac Winter Weather Prediction 2012
For the winter of 2011–12, the Farmers’ Almanac is forecasting “clime and punishment,” a season of unusually cold and stormy weather. For some parts of the country, that means a frigid climate; while for others, it will mean lots of rain and snow.
The upcoming winter looks to be cold to very cold for the Northern Plains, parts of the Northern Rockies, and the western Great Lakes. In contrast, above-normal temperatures are expected across most of the southern and eastern U.S. Near-normal temperatures are expected in the Midwest and Far West, and in southern
Florida.A very active storm track will bring much heavier-than-normal precipitation from the Southern Plains through Tennessee into Ohio, the Great Lakes, and the Northeast. Because of above normal temperatures, much of the precipitation will likely be rain or mixed precipitation, although, during February, some potent East Coast storms could leave heavy snow, albeit of a wet and slushy consistency.
An active Pacific Storm track will guide storm systems into the Pacific Northwest, giving it a wetter-than-normal winter.
Drier-than-normal weather will occur in the Southwest and Southeast corners of the nation.

last year they thought itd be a below average snowall season.
The absolute key is whether the transition from dry Southwest to wet Northwest happens in Tehachapi or in Bend. Central to Northern Sierra is like the Middle Child during La Nina.
Either way, Baker is the call for next year…
