Personally, I hope the warmer winter prediction is the correct one.

I wouldn't put much faith in that. It is almost impossible to predict weather that far out in advance with any accuracy. At most you can try to spot a relationship with El Nino/La Nina events and develop a model based on that. It does not look like the Almanac is doing that, though, since their prediction contradicts NOAA's.

It better be a warm Winter, I want 70's (that does happen here), I hope Winter never gets a chance to settle in due to excessive warm fronts, then it will be Spring which will mean no more cold at all .
But seriously, I always go with the opposite of most long-range forecast, of course if its a warm forecast one I will embrace it lol.
I live in the warmest part of NYC, whenever its supposed to snow we usually get rain (we do get heavy snow occasionally too), the Atlantic Ocean warms our air up a bit. |

I'm going with the warmer prediction, too! Since I moved to NE Wisconsin, the last 2 winters have been colder and snowier than usual, so I want to see a "normal" winter!!! |

A colder winter up north, means I can maybe wear a jacket in the winter here in Florida, which I look forward to doing. Bring on the winter!  k |
