The North Atlantic zone is expected to get slammed with snow, because why not, right? It's not like they don't already have enough snow up there. Meanwhile, the Mid-Atlantic zone is looking at a relatively mild winter, which is just code for "don't get too comfortable, folks, because winter is coming".
The South Atlantic zone is in for a real treat, with above-average snowfall expected in some areas. Yes, you read that right, snow in the South! It's like the almanac is playing a joke on us, but we're not laughing. The Florida zone, on the other hand, is looking at a winter that's more sunny than snowy, because of course it is.
The Great Lakes zone is bracing for lake-effect snow, because that's just what they need, more snow. And the Ohio Valley zone is looking at a mixed bag of snow and mild weather, because why make it easy, right? The Plains zone is expected to get hit with blizzard-like conditions, because, well, it's the Plains, what did you expect?
