Sad looking forecast for the east if it ends up being warmer, but so ridiculously early. This year was already pretty warm IMO. Plenty of times for things to change!

It looks to me like the Northeast shows as equal compared to almost the whole rest of the US being above.

The best option is just waiting to see what happens. Year after year, no one know what will happen until we start getting into the actual winter.

Above normal is less likely to be an issue in the east IMO since it can get super cold some days. The West on the other hand could be bad since the winter is often in the 15 to 35 degree range which if above normal might make the weather to warm. We will have wait and see. However the weather cycles in the east seem to fluctuate a lot.

Too logical.

After looking at the link provided it is clear to me that winter is cancelled this year.

last year, we had a drought, local watering bans and concerns if the snow making ponds will have enough water. Here's this year drought conditions. So far so good, I haven't brought out the water sprinklers, may hold off since the lawn is still in good shape.

It's been a very wet summer in SoVT; at least in our area. We've had some serious deluges in the last few months. One partially washed away a stone staircase on our property. Huge difference from last summer.
