Overview

• The forecast titled “Chill, Snow, Repeat” predicts a cold, snowy winter for the Great Lakes and New England with heavy snow events and persistent cold snaps.
• Mid-January and mid-February are highlighted as periods for especially bitter temperatures across much of the country.
• An early winter onset is possible in some regions, with the almanac suggesting stormy conditions could arrive by late November.
• Regional forecasts include heavy snow in the Pacific Northwest, rain-snow mixes along the Atlantic Coast, and wetter-than-average conditions in Texas and the Southern Plains.
• Meteorologists caution that the almanac’s historical-data formula has limited predictive accuracy and may clash with NOAA’s official seasonal outlook.
