The coldest periods will occur in the second week of December, early to mid January, mid-to late January and mid-February. Precipitation and snowfall will be below normal in the east and above normal in the west. Watch for a snowstorm around Thanksgiving, with other snowy periods in early and late December, late January, mid February, and mid-March. April and may will be warmer and drier than normal, with an early-season hot spell in mid-May.
