Related: About this forum2014-2015 winter forecast: Colder than normal Great Lakes, New England and Gulf Coast
http://www.wunderground.com/blog/SteveGregory/comment.html?entrynum=270A colder than normal winter, especially during the first half appears likely for the Great Lakes, Upper Midwest and New England region, while below normal Temps are also likely across the entire Gulf coast region. However, while Temps will likely average below normal, its very unlikely that this winter will be even remotely close to last years frigid winter.
In contrast to the east, the western half of the nation should see another unusually mild winter but should be significantly stormier than last year with above normal Precip expected from northern California to Washington State as the mean storm track shifts further south compared to last year - especially by January. Near normal Precip appears likely for southern California, allowing for at least some recovery from the extreme drought of the last several years.

a grain of salt. They also said we would have an average amount of hurricanes in the Atlantic and we got nothing.
I can't rely on my local forecast beyond 24 hours here in So Fla. They'll call for an 80% chance of storms two or three days in advance and we'd only get clouds and humidity. Nobody knows nuthin'.
Best guess: look out the window.
