A
Winter Of Extremes Coming
Weather extremes occur across the United States
virtually every season, but the presence of a La Nina
means that weather forecasters have a better idea of
what those extremes might be during the upcoming
winter. La Nina winters often result in flooding and
avalanche problems in the Pacific Northwest, drought
in the Southwest, the start of drought conditions in
the Southeast and bouts of unseasonable -- perhaps
record-breaking -- warmth in the South and East.
