AccuWeather has revised their winter outlook.  A few changes were made, especially here in the Northeastern part of the United States. 

The main change comes in the temperatures.  AccuWeather is now believing the winter will not be as cold as they had once thought for the Northeast.  Long lasting shots of cold arctic air are not as highly expected now but according to the weather blog, "there can still be cold snaps with below-normal temperatures".

This is AccuWeather's inital winter outlook,
which has changed.

In terms of the forecasted amount of snow...not much has changed.  AccuWeather still says "normal lake-effect snow" is expected and some areas could even see above average snowfall.

It seems that the above average warm November that just passed has made AccuWeather second guest their initial forecast.   I'm curious to see if these changes turn out to be correct.  I guess it is a wait and see game now.  As far as the other winter outlooks from NOAA and farmers almanac, no changes have been made.
