Default And the forecast for this winter is. bitterly cold with heavy snow and power blackouts

Sounds like complete guesswork nonsense and opportunistic journalism.

As Graham said recently, 80% chance this winter will be warmer than normal.
H. H. Lamb used the 7/10 rule, whatever the season before, the following
season will be similar in terms of temperature in 7/10 cases until the cycle
is broken.
