How good was the weather forecast?

On Friday, October 20, 2017, I presented on this blog, the NOAA's, America's climate prediction center forecast for the upcoming winter. Yeah, long-term stuff.

Back then, they put everything on the back of “la Niña” saying that Utah would see higher average temperatures and more precipitations. I was just worried that we might get too much rain and not enough snow, but still believed NOAA's predictions.

Well, we now know the results. The weather was a bit warmer in January, but soon turned cold in mid February to remain frigid through most of April. Worse yet, no serious trace of snow until February 19 with all the precipitations going to Canada.

Something not seen for most than 40 years. So, just keep NOOA's precision in mind when you'll discover its creative narrative for the 2018-19 winter, next October!
