@ the snow Talk: Some snow Sunday for the NE, but, the pattern is going to change. The West Coast is about to get slammed with rain.
The weather for the NE and South is about to get boring.

.. Yes I share in the nerd excitement when you turn on your radio and hear the meteorologist screaming because of a storm.
A Colorado Univ has also issued their prediction for the 2011 hurricane season (
Link, PDF file Dec 2010 prediction), and all the Universities are making their predictions! Will see who's right in due time.
The predictions will be bound to be updated as it gets closer to the season, so we'll see.
This prediction has changed, I believe, now they are saying 17 hurricanes and no longer 9 hurricanes. The US dodged a bullet this year given 1 in 4 hurricanes usually hit the US and only didn't because of the jet stream veering them off. 19 named storms in 2010 (well above average), few made landfall.
