^Yes, I'm aware that the odds are not stacked in my favor this year, but there can be plenty of surprises even in winters with overall terrible (warm/mild) prospects. But even if there are no such surprises, a mild winter still features plenty of decent weather, like 30s/40s and cold rain which I enjoy (it's the next-best thing if I can't get subfreezing temps and snow).
The winter of 2015-6 was one such winter. A record snowfall in NYC, 27.1" and -1F° on Valentine's Day, first below zero readings since January 1994, though we touched 0° in 2004 and maybe one or two other times. Overall the winter was very warm. Didn't get below freezing until after Christmas, maybe not in December. Also a raging El Niño.
If that pans out, I'll be happy. Would mean a lot of 70s and even 80s here
I'll most likely be in Phoenix for a couple weeks in January and wouldn't mind enjoying some warm weather for a while. However the ECMWF is known for a warm bias in the eastern 2/3rds. I bet the winter actually turns out something like this forecast says which is more typical of a La Nina and not far from NOAA's probability forecast
That brighter red will be over FL. Or i should say 100% above normal.
Well for those of us looking for a quick start to winter like myself, won't like what the models show for the end of November start of December right now.

Well i have had 9 years of above normal temps so what does that say? Something is very wrong to go 9 years and no cold weather.
Looking forward to winter. As usual, I hope we get several feet of snow and several arctic blasts.
I'm so ready. Need to make up for last year.
Here are my backyard snow totals since 2011-12.
