Signs that Winter will be Snowy

Some people may know that this winter is shaping up to be very cold.  At this point, however, it is looking more and more likely that it will be very snowy, at least for certain areas.  The fact is, upper level temperatures are the coldest they've been for a while, and it appears that this helps produce bigger snowstorms.  Another thing is that we are seeing a lot of really slow moving storm systems.  The slower a storm moves, the more time there is for snow to fall, which leads to bigger accumulations.  Just a little piece of info for you to chew on until our official winter outlook is released.  Stay tuned!
