19 EIA Prediction EIA released its annual Winter Fuels Outlook, predicting the season will be colder than last year. Regionally, the weather should be colder than last year east of the Rockies with the Northeast and the Midwest seeing 17% colder temperatures on average and 18% in the South. That said, last year was exceedingly warm, so this winter is projected to be about 3% warmer than the average of the previous five winters before last year. The West is expected to be warmer than last year by about 2%. Source: 19
