After having a bitter cold winter last year and with a strong El Nino in play in the Pacific, the long term forecast for the winter this year is to have slightly warmer than normal temperatures. There was a very warm September that generally is followed by less than average snowfall. This will result in snowfall that is below normal. Statistically, this translates to about 30-35 inches of snow at Bradley International Airport.  Obviously, one major storm could completely bust the forecast.
