Where CH and I live we have your "worst winter" every winter! The one that is coming will be bad, just like every other winter. However, if I could afford it I would be spending the season in Arizona, Florida or perhaps Honduras...

In the central Appalachians both the National Weather Service and the Old Farmer's Almanac agree in predicting a stormy winter slightly warmer than average, but much wetter than average, which means they both expect what they call a repetition of "wintry mix" being wet snow, sleet and icing conditions, with potential for widespread power outages and hazardous driving conditions, but not much snow accumulation.
I'd much rather have a metre of snow and well below zero F temps where the snow squeaks under your feet. Good for the skiing industry and fewer drink drivers sliding off the black ice and having to replace your mailbox so frequently.
