This video discusses the potential snowfall for the upcoming winter. The speaker uses historical data, including a snowstorm on April 4th, 1987, to predict future weather patterns. They also reference the current La Niña weather pattern, which is expected to bring a cold winter to the US.
The speaker presents a map showing the average snowfall in the US, with areas broken down into categories based on expected snowfall. They then create a new map, taking into account the La Niña pattern and other factors, which shows areas that may see above or below average snowfall.
According to the speaker, the Midwest and Northeast may see above-average snowfall, while the West Coast and areas near the East Coast may see below-average snowfall. The speaker also notes that the warm sea surface temperatures on the East Coast may make it harder for significant snow to reach coastal areas.
The video ends with a promotion for the speaker's weather merchandise and a challenge to viewers to prove them wrong with a $1000 reward for accurate snowfall predictions.
