Looks like a normal winter for us. Not sure where the colder temp predictions are coming from.

If you've lived here for more than a decade, I'd say you should be used to whatever winter throws at us, whether it be 100 inches of snow or 30. It amazes me that every year, people completely forget how to drive when the first snow hits and they bitch about it being 24 degrees out in February. It's Michigan. By living here you're basically signing up for the most unpredictable weather around. Deal with it.

La Nina is still hanging at the South Pacific Ocean. Therefore its not going to be a normal winter. Wait til the colder than normal temperatures come after the brief cool warm up in December. Than the snow showers and digging begins.

No, it isn't.

Currently conditions are neutral, but an El Nino is expected to start within the next couple of months.

That will be a 1-2 month cool warm-up period until La Nina returns in January.
