This update may be a little disappointing for those who dream of chilly snow-covered Christmas morning. But don’t lose hope yet–we could still have a white Christmas.

January and February will be colder than usual.

Winter lovers rejoice because, after a slightly warmer than usual December, you will get your fair share of frosty temps to come the new year. Those who begin looking forward to spring as soon as October hits must (once again) practice patience…and maybe invest in some new winter gear.
