As we approach the 2011/2012-winter season, Andrew Rivkin offers an insight into what to expect weather-wise. Being an avid skier, Rivkin is looking forward to a season that is forecasted to produce a significant amount of snow. The upcoming winter season looks to be cold and wet across the northern tier of states, and the drought will worsen in the South. Similar to last winter, the Pacific Ocean cooling known as La Nina is affecting the weather pattern. For the Great Lakes region, it is looking like an average winter with a tilt toward colder and wetter weather.
2011/2012 Winter Temperature Outlook for Canada
For Andrew Rivkin this is the type of forecast he wants to hear. This weather pattern should provide for excellent skiing conditions at Ontario ski hills including Blue Mountain Resort, Horseshoe Resort and Craigleith Ski Club.
With a preview this past weekend, the major cities of the Northeast United States are forecast to get above average amounts of snow. If Rivkin recalls correctly, this past winter was characterized with similar conditions for cities on the Eastern Seaboard, which received more snow than places further North and inland. Hopefully this pattern changes a bit to give residents of Ontario a more authentic winter season. If his busy work-schedule permits, Rivkin is aiming to head up to several of the ski hills in Ontario on weekends and get in as much as skiing as he can.
Despite the “average” weather forecast for the upcoming winter season, Andrew Rivkin is taking no chances. He recently purchased the Troy-Bilt Powermore OHV Snowthrower and is excited to put it to good use. It was the following review that sold Rivkin on the Powermore: “this snow blower can thrower anything the Alberta winter can give it from 3 inches of snow to 5 foot snow drifts.” If it is good enough for an Alberta winter, it is more than suitable for an Ontario winter.
