we had such a big el nino. last year's showing we could see a blizzard, this year maybe not so much. take a look. >> we're moving fast into winter. the last few winters have seen some rather brutal weather. record low temperatures, windchills well below zero. and all three have been above average when it comes to snowfall. i'm sure i don't have to remind you of the blizzard of 2016. one of the bies our region. i think this year will be just as brutal and the worst part could be the cold. the super strong el nino is gone from last season and we're moving towards a weak la nina. it blows above the mid-atlantic giving us numerous storms and above average prescription. e we might expect a mild and wet winter, but there are other factors here at play.

snow cover. the amount of snow cover in psi siberia gives us a signal of what we may expect for the rest of the winter. that snow cover is one of the largest ever that combined with record e low amounts of arctic sea ice will allow cold air to move into the country and especially into our region. we still expect snow, but i'm not calling for another big storm this year. our storms will still have a big impact on the region, but we i think the biggest impact this season will be the cold. and it could be record breaking. so let's break it down. we think this year's cold will come much earlier than last year. december and january are both looking very cold with a few days only in the teens. february may be our warmest winter months this season and we expect temperatures well above average. the cold will try to make a return in march and this is where i think we could find our biggest storms. not the blizzard of last year,

a punch. how about that snowfall? this year i'm predicting average or slightly above average snowfall. the d.c. area averages just over 15 inches a year and this year i'm going 14 to 20 inch ace long the i-95 corridor with more to the north and west as usual and a little less to the south and east. >> so about average with the snowfall around you are our region. we're going to have a couple of snowstorms. one of the most interesting things when making thi that christmas was the coldest christmas ever. 3 degrees for a low temperature. 14 for a high temperature on christmas day. could be a very cold christmas season. that's something we'll be watching. >> two words. polar vortex. >> and because of the high snow cover, that tends to weaken the polar vortex. what that does is allow pieces of it to come towards our

cold. that keeps it around the arctic. little pieces break off and that's why we could be so cold. >> ice? >> i think the pattern is going to be such we'll be so cold and we'll have systems up from the south that give us the ice first and we turn over to rain. that ice could be a big problem. a couple cheerz in the newsroom when i was saying no big >> because we don't get to eat pizza nonstop for three days. >> we want our blizzards in a a cup with a straw. >> thank you, doug. arrests in richmond after demonstrators blocked streets during a noigt of anti-trump protests. stalled traffic wasn't the only
