Today Meterologists Predicted We Would Have An Above-Average Amount of Snow This Winter. They Also Predicted We Would Have A Below-Average Amount of Snow This Winter

WTOP – Get your shovels ready, because this winter could be snowier than usual for the D.C. region. “What we’re predicting in the D.C. metro area is above average,” NBC Washington Chief Meteorologist Doug Kammerer tells WTOP about this year’s Storm Team 4 winter forecast. “Normally we get about 15 inches a year, and we’re going for 20 to 25 inches of snowfall,” he says. “To the west, and we’re talking about areas like Dulles Airport out toward Frederick, I’m going [with] anywhere between 30 and 50 inches of snow.”

Oh no!!! Another brutal winter?! Rats! Feels like we just finished shoveling out of the last blizzard. Darn you climate change! Darn you!

But wait….

WaPo - Unlike our last two winters, we expect a warmer than normal winter with below average snow.  But below average snow doesn’t necessarily mean dry. We favor a stormier than normal winter. However, expect many of the storm events to produce rain or mixed precipitation rather than snow. Less brutal cold, more rain than snow. We expect some cold shots, especially in the second half of winter, but nothing like the punishing blows we experienced the last two winters.

Oh praise the lerd! Couldn’t handle another bad winter. Feels like we just finished shoveling out of the last blizzard. But all this rain? Darn you global warming! Darn you!

Pretty funny that both of those stories were tweeted onto my timeline within an hour today. The Washington Post meteorologist saying it’s gonna be a very snowy winter, the WTOP guy saying not to expect much snow at all.

Who has it better that a weather man? Nobody has it better than a weather man. Just say whatever you feel. If you’re right, people love you. If you’re wrong, you’re “just making a prediction, sometimes predictions are wrong”. And you just crack little weather jokes along the way, poop your pants at the White House, get cursed out by teenagers on Twitter who want off of school, and draw dicks on the weather map along the way.

So here’s to a very snowy under-average snowy winter.
