The New York Daily News reports today that the Big Apple is likely to get hit with a hard, old-fashioned winter this year. Expect freezing temperatures and plenty of snow, says the Daily News.

“It may be a shock to some when compared with the above-average temperatures of last year in the East,” said Joe Bastardi, the chief long-range forecaster at AccuWeather.com. “It will put some ‘brrrrrr’ in the saddle of folks who have not had to deal with such things for a while.”

Blame the brrrrrr on the core of cold that visited misery on the Midwest last year - and is now heading for our neck of America, Bastardi said.

We can expect a “brutal” December, followed by a January thaw, then a return to wintry weather during February. This is not good for Americans already feeling the pinch in their pocketbooks from the country’s economic problems. But now heating bills will be up as well.
