It would be great for business if winter came early, enticing consumers to buy remote starters for Christmas and the cold months ahead.
The outlook for this year may bring a good amount of snow in the Northeast, but temperatures are expected to be warmer than average.
AccuWeather is predicting the east coast corridor along Interstate 95 will get more snow than last year. AccuWeather “has not ruled out” a nor-easter snow storm for late November. However, snow is mainly predicted for late January through February.
Boston could see three times as much snow as last year, climbing to 38-44 inches. Cities like New York and Philadephia, which had almost no snow last year, could see 16 to 26 inches this year, said AccuWeather.
For the Midwest and Great Lakes, AccuWeather is predicting mild temperatures with snow levels varying greatly from Chicago to Salt Lake City. The latter half of winter could see more arctic blasts and lake effect snow in the Great Lakes region, it said.
Chicago is predicted to see 20 to 30 inches of snow compared to 20 inches last year. Minneapolis’ snow level may be cut by more than half this year to 33-40 inches. Denver should stay even with last year at about 50 to 60 inches and Salt lake City is forecast to see less snow than last year at 45 to 60 inches. Kansas City snowfall should increase this year to 12 to 20 inches.
Both The Weather Channel and AccuWeather say this winter will be characterized by an El Nino weather pattern. That is when water temperatures by the equator in the Pacific Ocean are above average, which reshapes the jet stream that hits the US. Usually it means warmer weather in the north and a wet, cool winter in parts of the south, said The Weather Channel.
In the West, El Nino may mean another winter with more than average snowfall for California, said AccuWeather.

Our pre season remote car starting business has been on track this year comparing sales in 2022… Typically sales in this category start to pick up once back to school is over IE beginning of Sept. In Edmonton we just received our first snowfall of the year today Oct.23. and for sure cold weather and snowfall always increases consumer demand.
Due to cost increases our retail pricing is up over last year for all remote car starter categories. We have always done a great job with selling remote starters as a great Christmas gift idea. Due to higher costs to the end consumer unit sales may be down this year but hopefully the higher dollar average sale will more than make up for possible decrease in unit sales. Time will tell by the time the end of December rolls around..

What about below Kansas and
MO.
Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida
Is any one willing to give those states an idea of the coming winter weather?
What about the Farmers Almanac? It use to be a great source, maybe it still is great source. Just a thought!
I can guarantee that this winter Wisconsin will either have more or less snow than last winter.. unless we get exactly the same amount, that is.
