There are always those who predict the worst winter ever every year and of course that never materializes. |

Do you think that the current drought conditions helped play a part in the record cold temps? |

The long range I've seen thus far is large part of the interior away from the coasts as "equal chances". I have gut feeling that C.Canada down into the Dakotas could have a doozie of a winter, but that's really just based on triple La Nina and I haven't really looked at other factors yet. I will post them here down the road. |

If the ground wasn't as dry , dewpoints would have been slightly higher likely just enough to add a few degrees to recent overnight lows. |

New data suggests maybe more moisture??? |

About as expected for La Nina. Below normal temps in the N tier and warmer in the S. The battle zone in between will be the major precip axis. ** Note -- when NOAA has "equal chances" for temp forecast for a winter with this amount of lead time, watch out, as they usually trend and turn out below to much below normal for much of the "equal chances" area. The author of the article stresses that as well. If you don't want all the meteorological jargon and just want the outlooks, just skip about 2/3rds the way through the piece until the end.
