The winter outlook report released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts equal chances of a colder winter than normal in Ohio.
The Plain Dealer reports that according to the NOAA prediction, there isn’t any indication that this winter will be a sequel of last year’s Polar Vortex. The prediction is based on atmospheric conditions, ocean temperatures and currents.
From The Plain Dealer:
“For Ohio and a huge swath of the Midwest, NOAA says the odds are 50-50 that it will be colder than normal this winter. And for the northern counties in Ohio, the odds are that it will not snow more than it typically does.”
