Winter Temperatures – How Cold?
The Almanac is predicting a deep chill to settle over the Northern Plains and Great Lakes regions for much of the season. But don’t think the South is off the hook. Southern areas should expect some frigid blasts from Old Man Winter, even if the temperatures are slightly more moderate overall. Cold snaps are forecast to hit during the final week of January into early February, with the Northern Plains potentially seeing the most extreme cold.
Snow?
The Northeast is in the bullseye for a barrage of storms this winter, with the Farmers’ Almanac calling for above-normal amounts of winter precipitation. Ski-lovers will enjoy nice powder days. Snow will likely be more plentiful in the interior and mountainous regions of New England and the Northeast, while those near the coast can expect more rain. The Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes, and Southeast should get ready for a wet, white, and slushy season.
On the flip side, the Southwest and South Central States are looking at a drier winter with below-normal precipitation.
Winter WarningsThe 2025 Farmers’ Almanac suggests keeping a close watch on the final week of January for an active storm track that could bring heavy precipitation and strong winds to the eastern half of the country. Texas and the Northwest may also want to prepare for a potential snowstorm that could winter bring up to 6 inches to Texas, and a foot or more to the Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho during the first week of February.
Farmers’ Almanac Weather FormulaThe Farmers’ Almanac’s proprietary weather prediction formula adapts to the mysteries of nature as well as the effects of La Niña, which is predicted to develop and hang on through the winter.
