I'm gonna be optimistic and say this winter is going to be cooler than normal, with a record breaking cold snap in mid-January. We'll get a freeze on January 14th.....hopefully.

My prediction is that the lowest temperature of the winter will be 40F and it will occur on January 7th.

I think this winter will be warmer than normal.

We're overdue for a cool winter, but part of me also feels like the recent warm bull**** is just our new climate regime.

A frost can form at temperatures above freezing, while a freeze is simply at or below freezing temperatures. I think some sources use 36 F (2.2 C) as the criteria for a frost.
