Bastardi Bold

"...(F)orecaster Joe Bastardi of AccuWeather on Tuesday reiterated his forecast for a warm winter in the Northeast, although the weather has been running colder than normal since Nov. 1. In an interview with MarketWatch, he said it will stay cold until the middle of December and then run about four degrees above normal in the northeastern U.S."

Rather BOLD prediction given December/s temperature departures during past -ENSO events. Much of NE has been one-half to one standard deviation below normal...the same being true for large portions of the M-A.
