Then hold on tight to that memory because you may need it when Old Man Winter comes to town. And he'll arrive probably sooner than any of us expect and with enough heavy baggage to prove he's sticking around for awhile.
Old Farmer's Almanac preemptively dubbed the upcoming 2021-22 winter as the "season of shivers." Editor Janice Stillman says it could even be "one of the longest and coldest that we’ve seen in years."
According to the forecast, The Great Lakes, Midwest, and Ohio Valley will have more than their fair share of cold and flaky weather in January. And it will get wetter and colder from there.
In detail, the almanac predicts this winter will bring a double whammy of above-average snowfall and below-average temperatures to wide swaths of the country, including New England, Appalachia , the Ohio Valley, northern parts of the Deep South and even New Mexico. Cold but dry weather is predicted for California, Arizona and parts of western Washington and Oregon.
For 230 years, the Old Farmers' Almanac has been helping readers to prepare for winter’s worst, with 80%–accurate weather forecasts.
