Minnesota's Dean Athelstan Spilhaus says there is no scientific evidence that this winter will stay outrageously cold, nor that it will turn warm. He notes a 2 to 1 chance of a warm winter per an 80-year data study, but cold autumns do not guarantee continued subzero weather. He cites altered east-west air currents and admits no clear explanation for the current severity.
