Pastelok breaks down his predictions by region since it is nearly impossible to pinpoint a long-term forecast for specific towns and cities. "Northeast Region" refers to the Danbury Connecticut area. Pastelok states:

Areas closer to the coast, such as Boston, New York City and the rest of the Interstate-95 corridor, could also get the chance of early-season cold and snow, but it is not predicted to be as cold or as snowy as across areas farther inland.

 

In addition, the meteorologist said that January will be hard-hit by bitter cold and snowstorms that could cause widespread disruptions. At the tail end of the winter season in 2022, the polar vortex has a good chance of appearing, which will increase the risk of nor'easters.
