Prepare to Bundle Up: Winter 2017 & 2018 Is Going to Be Unusually Cold according to AccuWeather
In the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, people can expect a colder winter than last year, and these dropping temps could lead to an above-average amount of snowfall. New York and Boston, in particular, should be prepared for more snow than usual because early predictions have called for 6 inches above normal, according to AccuWeather.
The Plains should brace for subzero temperatures (as in, minus 30°F), which are predicted to make an appearance on a regular basis. The Rockies and the Northwest should prepare for an abundance of snowfall thanks to a weak La Niña that may form. La Niña marks an irregularly cold weather pattern caused by cold ocean temperatures in the Pacific. As of now, there is up to a 60 percent chance that La Niña will develop this fall or winter, Weather.com reports.
So overall: lots of snow, and lots of frigid temps.
