New York State is split into three different regions in the prediction and it looks like all three regions are in for a warmer and drier than normal winter this year.

First, let's look at New York City and downstate. This section of New York is part of the Old Farmer's Almanac's Atlantic Corridor region. This winter will be warmer than normal.

Temperatures will be average to slightly above average during winter (though 2% colder than average during February)

The Old Farmer's Almanac is also calling for less snow than normal.

Next up is the Eastern Part of New York which is part of the Old Farmer's Almanac's Northeastern region. Much of the region will be warmer than normal this winter with plenty of snow. While the amount of snow will be less than normal, it will be very snowy in December.

Winter temperatures will be above average overall. January is expected to be 4°F above average in the far north of this region. The coldest periods will be mid-December and late February.
