The Farmer's Almanac predictions for the upcoming winter.

There's that 4 letter word that starts with "s." I grew up in the South, and I'm NOT a fan.

I'm on the round bottom area of WV, right where the cold snowy meets cold dry. I don't like the sound of either, but will be prepared for both!

I grew up in Northeast...I'm betting I'm even less of a fan than you! I start being traumatized at this time of year anticipating a 6 month dredge leading up to and then through a long winter. Hoping we manage to get away a bit this Jan or Feb...been trying to find an Air B&B, even though it's already late...there's got to be somewhere!

I love Farmer's Almanac's predictions.

~~Looks like Joisey will have just a cold winter meaning NO snow or very little & dry. That's "mild" for Joisey if you live in So. Joisey.~~

EDIT: Looked at that map again, this time w/my /0~0\ on.

COLD & SNOW!

I mistook Delaware for N.J.

I love snow, bring it on. However I'm in mild and dry. Doesn't look good for snow.

Yep, My area is clipped by the edge of that snow. I live on a big hill and a lot of shade in the area to keep icy spots on the roads.

Hmmmm....St. Louis is on the line between cold/dry and cold/snowy. I'm hoping for dry! Farmer's Almanac is usually pretty accurate!

Cold and wet. Bring on the books!

@Kachina624 ~ Hmm, mild and wet? I've been here since 2015, and winters have been cold, and pretty snowy. We shall see!

I have weathered 63 winters in Pennsylvania. Every year I dread it and say to my DH " why do we stay here?" Ugh 😩

DiAnne — Wed, 08 Sep 2021 22:16:19 GMT

Mild and dry for me....

Re: Ready or Not..... It's Coming!

@AKgirl2 Wanna trade places? I've heard the last few years, Alaska hasn't had nearly as much snow as usual.

@pidgenwil6 Well, that's exactly what the map says for you if you're in the SE.

Same every year. Mild and dry. They also said that this summer would be warmer and drier and they were wrong. We've had more rain this summer than the past two years combined and it's been cooler than normal.

Cold and dry works for me!!

Re: Ready or Not..... It's Coming!

fthunt — Wed, 08 Sep 2021 22:22:44 GMT

Same every year for NYS = Cold & snow = no Almanac needed..........

Just agreed to a hike in winter snow plowing service for upcoming winter. OUCH

But they get a flat price if it's a mild one or a blizzard - just a roll of the dice.

Says "mild & snowy" for me in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I will take that happily over last winter's bitter cold and snowy!!

Mild and dry doesn't bode well for fires next summer in CA., W. Oregon, W. WA. State and the Southwest.
