Ha ha! I live in the orange zone and I’ve got enough firewood to last for two years. Life is good.
Yep, gonna be the coldest winter ever, unless it isn’t.

This summer was particularly cool in the Northeast. Many mornings I'd walk the dog and be able to see my breath in the air. Feels like October already.
Can’t get tomorrow’s weather right, but by golly they have all winter figured out right now.
I am reminded that in the mid 1990s they predicted a large earthquake once every two years for the next decade or so. This was based on a flurry of quakes in the prior five years.
Not one plus 6 quake followed as of this time, 2014.
Twenty years...
Predicting nature is like trying to predict if the wife will be happy three days from now.
That was in Southern California BTW.
Hmm...warm and dry in my neck of the woods. Gonna play hell with the ski resorts...
Hope they struck a deal because if this forecast pans out...
It’s supposed to hit 106 here next week, I got 98 today and it’ll be breaking the 100s for the next few days.
Whenever I see forecasts such as this I tend to be of the opinion the opposite will occur, although I usually only believe such when I see such forecasts from government entities.
I am of the opinion this will be a mild winter after having such a brutal winter last year, but that’s just a personal opinion.
I’m in yellow (Petaluma, 30 miles from the coast, 35 miles north of SF) and haven’t had any decent tomatoes in the garden for 3 years. this year in august we saw the sun come up all of TWO DAYS. It has been foggy every other day with the sun coming out around noon and the fog rolling in at six or seven. This is the middle of summer and its 65F-75F every day. I will say it got over 80F today for a change. back in the good old gore bull warming days we would have a few weeks in the nineties and several days over 100. this global cooling sucks.
It’s going to be cold in winter? PANIC!!!!!
This long term weather forecasting has very seldom produced the expected results.
I am an avid rider of snowmobiles, I belong to the same club since I was 16. Over 40 years. We have tried to depend on all sorts of weather forecasting to schedule club rides or to buy a new machine here in up state ny. It’s a hit and miss business. They just don’t know.
I’m doing the normal things I always do. Get the firewood in, check everyone’s snow tires, make sure the cars are ready and stocked with emergency kits, storm windows ready to go up. Snow shovels ready to work. But that’s about it. If it snows I’ll ride, but I didn’t buy a new Ski Doo.
Imagine at how much colder it would be without of all of this global warming we’re having, I guess.

It’s the Polar Vortex, which is caused by global warming, and it’s still you Americans’ fault for not driving a Prius.
To all you scoffers who think weather can’t be forecast beyond a day or two, the Weather Channel has already begun releasing forecasts for 2050:

Wow, thank God for glo-bull warming, otherwise it might *really* get cold!
