It is just a month or two's time for winters to approach the United States and if trusted the weatherman, this could be a cold one. An above average snowfall has been predicted for the United States along with frequent storms and chilly weather.
Winters are likely to stretch into the spring of 2017 particularly the Northern plains. Hence this could be a prolonged winter season.
Moreover, as per the Meteorology Department, snow is likely to accumulate much of the US states and cities including New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. Moreover, portions of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, are all at risk of severe weather after the first of the year.
The northeastern U.S. may also observe lower-than-average temperatures, but fewer subzero days. To put in other words, this New Year is expected to bring in some really cold bursts to the southeastern United States.
On the other hand, the Midwest and Northern Plains, are expected to be ferociously cold. As compared to last winter, those regions are expected to be between six and nine degrees colder overall. Wherein regions like Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota are even expected to reach 20-30 degrees under zero.
As per the Met Department, a late arrival of winters can be marked for southern plains and Gulf Coast whereas, rains and winter storms are on cards for California. However, there are some regions like the Dallas and Little Rock that may completely miss out on these snow storms and chilly weather.
Though winter weather is not predicted to begin before mid-November, it seems difficult to forecast how the season will progress.
