2017-18 winter weather prediction: “Colder—But Not Colder Than Usual
This winter is forecast to be much colder than last year’s, but—just like last winter—not colder than usual. In fact, a large part of the northern United States will experience milder-than-average temperatures (though we would still recommend having your long underwear on-hand), while much of the South and West can expect to feel cooler than normal. Escaping this chill area are Florida and the Southeast, where milder-than-usual temperatures will be felt."
