Subject:	NWS Winter Outlook

The NWS winter outlook is finalized. I have provided a link. The NWS is basically bullish in the East and Southern Canada for cold weather while mild to bearish in most of the West temperature-wise. The precipitation forecast for the Pac NW Hydro Basins is regarded as "near normal" or 95-105%. 

Note - this is the first time in 10 winter seasons that the NWS is forecasting below normal temperatures from the Midwest into the Northwest for DEC to FEB. 

Also, the finalized versions of Earth Sat are in all of your drop boxes.
