All the signals I see say warmer and drier for us this winter. That's a typical La Nina winter for us. The Farmer's Almanac is written sort of like your horoscope in the paper. You can interpret just about anything from the vague statements. No meteorologist/climatologist would be caught dead relying on the Farmer's Almanac.

Yes, La Nina winters are typically warmer, but I like to think that you have a serious warm bias there wxman. If it's not 80 degrees in January, your not happy. For the record, I do realize I'm in the wrong part of the country for my beloved cold weather. One day I will make my home up north....God willing.

It's not just me, our long-range export (who's what I call a "cold-mongerer") is conceding the warm, dry winter, too.
