This thread could be a validation of Theo's forecast. The 2017 forecast was:
"
Winter will begin on November 12, 2016 and will last more or less to April 29, 2017 due to planetary signatures which show a late spring with temperatures not really warming up until May 2017.
Winter 2016-17 will be colder-and-wetter than normal, especially from the Midwest to the East, including the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states.
Although meteorological winter begins December 1, 2016, expect to see snow earlier-than-normal in the Plains states, the Rocky Mountains, into the Midwest and to the Eastern U.S. coast.
December 2016 will be colder-than normal and feel like mid-winter for two-thirds of the nation; while the Southern and western states will experience cooler than normal temperatures, with dry conditions persisting in California.
There will be colder-than-normal and wetter then normal snowfall for the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic that will also extend into the Southeastern United States.
The key to preparing for the coming winter will be to know that it will be the 'air temperatures' that will be very cold.
Expect abrupt changes in temperatures over the course of the winter and do not be swayed by sudden appearances of brief warmer temperatures in February and March 2017 because winter will not be done just yet.
Insulation against the colder-than-normal winter air, and the dampness of its precipitation of freezing rain, snow and ice will be the headlines throughout the winter season.
In 2017, there will be abrupt and odd temperature disparities, with temperatures plunging as much as 25 to 30 degrees over a course of hours in some regions, especially in the Midwest, Rocky Mountains and South.
The spring of 2017 will 'appear' to begin early in late February/early March, but will turn out to be colder and wetter than normal - making winter feel longer.
The months of April and May 2017 will be wetter than normal, with temperatures below normal for the northeast and Mid-Atlantic and slightly above normal in the South and Southeastern U.S.
My general advice for the coming winter is to treat it as a small taste, a prelude if you will, to the arrival of global cooling, which will begin in late 2017 and be completed fully by the year 2020 when the Sun enters its quiescent phase."
Well the first part of the winter appears to have gone as advertised - let's see how the rest of the year pans out.
Comments and updates will follow I am sure.
The forecast does appear to be somewhat parochial, it would be useful to see what is expected for the rest of the world.
