In the U.S., prepare to shiver with below-normal winter temperatures from the Heartland westward to the Pacific and in the Desert Southwest, Pacific Southwest, and Hawaii but above normal winter temperatures elsewhere. The cold will continue through Valentine’s Day—providing the perfect excuse to stay indoors and snuggle! But be warned: Winter will not be over yet!
For some parts of the country, frigid and frosty conditions will last well into spring, bringing little relief to the winter-weary. “This could feel like the never-ending winter, particularly in the Midwest and east to the Ohio Valley and Appalachians, where wintery weather will last well into March and even through the first days of spring,” says Almanac editor Janice Stillman.
[...] In the U.S., this winter will be remembered for strong storms bringing a steady roofbeat of heavy rain and sleet, not to mention piles of snow. The 2020 Old Farmer’s Almanac is calling for frequent snow events—from flurries to no fewer than seven big snowstorms from coast to coast, including two in April for the Intermountain region west of the Rockies.
This snow-verload will include storms pummeling Washington state and points eastward across the northern-tier states into Michigan. For the normally rain-soaked Northwest, this could mean a repeat of last winter’s record-breaking extremes, including the Snowpocalypse that dumped 20.2 inches on Seattle in February.

Now let me get this straight. This winter is going to be cold? You're shitting me! And it's going to be winter until March when Spring finally rolls around? My god...

Do you have a statistically significant model to prove that, or is it just anecdotal?

He can't even forecast the weather next month, but he wants us to tell that the next winter will be colder than last summer? That doesn't make sense! Don't believe those season scientists! It's clearly all part of a big conspiracy!
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.

SoylentNews is social media. Says so right in the slogan. Soylentnews is people, not tech.
