Snowy Winter Forecast for NE as Remote Start Season Begins

share on:

Both AccuWeather and The Old Farmer’s Almanac are predicting a snowy winter for the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states as well as parts of the Midwest.

This may signal strong regional sales for remote starters this winter as sales tend to correlate directly to the weather; the lower the mercury, the higher the sales.

But while much snow is expected in the Northeast, the Northwest should see less than average snowfall this winter.

AccuWeather announced its annual winter forecast Friday predicting “big snow events” this winter, particularly in January and February, which will impact cities including Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Charlotte, bringing higher than average snowfall levels.

The center and southern Appalachians should also see big snow events, said AccuWeather.

The coldest temperatures will be later in the winter in February.  “Temperatures may start out slightly above to near normal, but as the season progresses and some snow accumulates, it will turn colder than normal during February,” said AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok.

The Old Farmers Almanac also states for 2013, “temperatures will be much colder this winter from the East Coast westward to a line from the Dakotas to Texas.”

For the Upper Midwest, snow levels should be lower than normal.  Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, Green Bay and St. Louis will see less snow, said AccuWeather.

But the Rockies will see more snow early this winter and colder than average temperatures.

“We do expect above-normal snowfall for places like Albuquerque and just south of Salt Lake City. Denver will probably be near normal,” said Pastelok.

  1. RE: Snowy Winter Forecast for NE as Remote Start Season Begins. Has anyone done any regional cooperative advertising in the past? Possibly if a group of retailers get together the cost of advertising could be averaged down enough to get some professional ad help and some prominent advertising that could sell some remote starts? I am not pretending to be an expert on the subject just throwing the idea out there. Happy to hear comments positive or negative.
