Warm Novembers Lead To Warm Winters?
This November has been well above normal so far, and looks to continue through the end of the month. So are there any clues that a warm November leads to a warmer winter? Well it's not a lock, but according to the data I ran for the West Lafayette COOP (which begins in 1901) the tendency is for the following winters to be warmer than normal (+1.1º or greater departure). Of course there are exceptions as well.
