Didn't anyone tell you that meteorological winter begins Dec 1? :-)
(See e.g., this story from NOAA)

Cathy, it's less the wintry conditions, which could have started a lot earlier than they actually did this year, than skipping the whole month of December.

...meteorological December, that is.

Well, the upside is it sounds like you have a 60% chance of being warmer than last year. Maybe that can compensate for higher gas prices.
