Any 'forecasts' yet as to what sort of Winter we are in for?

I always liked this answer to weather problems...
It was autumn, and the Red Indians on the reservation asked their New
Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild.
He was a modern indian chief, sitting in his bungalow with his jeep
parked outside. He realised he couldnt tell the signs like his father
and grandfather did.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that the
winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village
should collect wood to be prepared.
But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea.
He called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is the coming
winter going to be cold?". "It looks like this winter is going to be
quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service
responded.
So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even
more wood. A week later, he called the National Weather Service again.
"Are you certain that it is going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes," the man from the National Weather Service again replied, "it's
definitely going to be a very cold winter."
The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect
every scrap of wood they could find.
Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Are
you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely," the man added. "It's going to be one of the coldest
winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "The Red Indians are collecting wood like
crazy."
Hahahahaha
