Will this be a long winter?
Well, we’re a month into winter and many people are wondering what kind of weather to expect for the remainder of this season.
Will it be a long winter with cold temperatures and plenty of snow, or will it be relatively mild? These are questions that Chief Meteorologist Damon Lane has been exploring in his winter outlook for Oklahoma.
According to Lane’s analysis, this winter in Oklahoma is expected to be influenced by El Nino, a weather phenomenon that typically brings more moisture than normal. This means that we can anticipate a wetter winter with above-average snowfall.
Historical data shows that during El Nino winters, there is a higher chance of experiencing more snow than average, particularly in central and western Oklahoma.
However, when it comes to temperatures, a cold winter is not always guaranteed. While December was expected to have near-normal temperatures, and actually wasn’t too bad, January is predicted to be the coldest month. This is good news, because it means if we can make it through the end of January, then we basically only have one more month to worry about: February.
