All hope is lost for any snow and ice this winter, but one infamous

And what exactly is *MY* winter?

IIRC, one year around a couple of centuries ago an almanac of the "Old
Moore's" type got lucky with their winter forecast and correctly
forecast a severe winter. The almanac was published by someone called
Murphy, and the winter became known as "Murphy's winter".
