"The Farmers’ Almanac says it has an 80-per-cent accuracy rate, however Global News’ chief meteorologist Mark Madryga says the forecasts can’t be taken at face value.

He prefers to point at larger climate systems like La Niña to predict the long-term weather.

“With the absence of El Niño this year, there is a high probability that this coming winter will be colder than last winter. A few days of snow are more likely down to sea level on the South Coast this year,” said Madryga."
Is Madryga aware that last winter was a La Nina winter?

According to NOAA, we're looking at an average (based on data from 1980-2010) winter with slightly above average precipitation.
