Ok, first things first. I hate it when somone puts "Official" in any thread title unless it is truly official. Just saying. 
Now, let's talk about the first real shot at snow for the east coast in this new Winter season.
Around December 10th to 12th, there could be a snowstorm setting up for the east coast. This is a tad early for winter weather, but a strong La Nina season usually gives you wild weather swings. I'll keep looking at the models and update this thread when warranted. Other weather gurus are encouraged to do the same.
As for the winter season itself, look for some different weather patterns for 2010-11. December could bring colder than normal temps and the chance for at least one snowfall (as mentioned in the previous paragraph) on the east coast. January could see a significant thaw and some daily temps could be consiberably warmer by winter standards. Cold weather returns at the end of the month and the chance for a couple of ice storms in late January and early February. February could bring a couple of decent snowfalls as well. March could bring a surprise snowfall in the early part of the month or another ice storm. By the end of March, Spring will begin to assert itself.
Weather gurus, feel free to jump in and add to the discussion. Also, for those who wish to talk about their local forecasts, please do so.
As one weather guru puts it. "Enjoy your weather, because it is the only weather you've got".
