Joe Bastardi accurately predicted one of the snowiest winter weather seasons on record for the East in his 2009-2010 Winter Forecast, which was released in July 2009. Check back with AccuWeather.com on Tuesday for his 2010-2011 Winter Forecast.

While summer is still sweltering, becoming among the hottest on record for parts of the Midwest and Northeast, it will soon be time to cool off with the AccuWeather.com winter forecast.

On Tuesday, Aug. 3, AccuWeather.com Long Range Meteorologist Joe Bastardi will reveal if winter will again grip the Northeast with extreme cold and snow, or if it will pummel another region.

Expect Bastardi to release an exciting long-range regional outlook for the entire U.S., forecasting when and where the core of the cold will be for all the major cities, as well as the brunt of major snowfall.

Bastardi's winter of 2009-2010 accurately predicted the stormiest weather centered over the mid-Atlantic, with record snowfall from Washington, D.C., to Charlotte.

His forecast was confirmed when several big snowstorms dropped more than 54 inches of snow in Washington, D.C., making it the snowiest winter on record for the nation's capital.

Three major snowstorms struck the Northeast in February 2010, causing the winter of 2009 to be dubbed "snowmaggedon." Bastardi predicted nearly six months earlier that major cities in the East could get up to 75 percent of their total winter snowfall in two or three big storms.

Check back with AccuWeather.com tomorrow morning for Bastardi's 2010-2011 Winter Forecast.

The "Dead of Winter," the one-month period when normal temperatures reach their lowest levels, has come to an end for much of the United States. Some people may find it odd that the "Dead of Winter" does not encompass the darkest day of the year (the first day of winter). That is due to a seasonal lag in temperatures. More heat continues to be lost than is gained from the start of winter until this time of year.
