Unfavorable pattern continues through December

This map showing October 2012 temperatures displays a very below-normal October was observed, especially across the Ohio Valley, Mississippi Valley, South Plains, Central Plains and Northern Plains. It does appear that the Northern Plains achieved the lowest temperature for the month of October- a good sign for the coming winter if you like cold weather.
