As fall deepens and the air turns crisp across the country, many of us are preparing for what's shaping up to be a different kind of winter. With climate patterns like La Niña influencing the season, many parts of the US could see a colder and stormier winter than the last, especially in the northern states and the Pacific Northwest.
