As is often the case with stories from similar hoax news sites, the slightly plausible nature of the headline induced many users to post and repost the link without careful examination, the myth-busting website Snopes.com wrote about the Empire News story.

In reality, seasonal forecasting remains an imprecise science.

There is little indication, at this point, of what the winter will hold. The Climate Prediction Center in College Park does not see any climate signal suggesting what weather might be like here three months from now, though it predicts a possible warm trend for the Northwest and cool and wet trend for the Southwest and Florida.
