is not uncommon at some point in many Octobers. As for the rest of the
winter, being a non-believer in excessively long range forecasts, I don't
think anyone can be sure at this stage whether it will another chillier than
usual one.

I think a cold October would tend to make me less optimistic about a
cold winter, if anything. I still remember the cold October of 1974
being followed by an exceptionally mild winter.
