If you dig snow (in both senses of the word), you’re gonna love the upcoming winter.
According to the Farmers Almanac Winter 2024 Extended Weather Forecast, winter weather is making a comeback. After a warm winter anomaly last year, traditional cool temperatures and snowy weather conditions will return to the contiguous United States.
According to the report, there are indications that an El Niño (an unusually high-water temperature off the Pacific Coast of South America), will be brewing in the latter half of 2023, lasting into the winter of 2024. Given that, it means that cold temperatures should prevail throughout the country and bring snow, sleet, and ice.
The extended weather forecast, which is based on a mathematical and astronomical formula, calls for below-average temperatures and lots of snowstorms, sleet, ice, rain for much of the Great Lakes and Midwest areas of the country, as well as central and northern New England, especially in January and February. (Brrr…)
And it’s going to be a long one. March will remind us that the Brrr is Back and won’t let go too easily. March’s extended forecast calls for wild swings in the thermometer, especially in the East. And March could go out like a lion, with stormy conditions nationwide.
So enjoy the sun and heat while you can. Because it looks like Snow Miser will have the upper hand come this winter.
