You really think this winter will not be good ? There are no signs of a crappy winter right now. Yes its early right now so let's see in November.
This looks like an average to maybe slightly above average winter for Philly and NYC.
I think New England will do well with a more prominent SE ridge compared to last winter.
The ridge should also help us out here in NYC but its always tricky here living near the water.
Should be a great winter for the lakes and interior.
