Summary:  Winter will start getting colder in the mid-Atlantic and New England states next month, and the West Coast can expect to warm up, in a change of pace caused by the weather pattern known as La Nina. "Things are going to start shifting," said Douglas LeComte, a meteorologist with the Climate Prediction Center in Camp Springs, Md. He said the shift is expected to reach its peak in March, although parts of the East already are in the midst of a lingering cold snap. The warmer-than-normal temperatures in the East and the cold, wet weather in the West have been blamed on the strongest La Nina in 50 years, according to a midwinter assessment released Tuesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
