(Farmer's Almanac)

LEWISTON, Maine -- Many Americans have been broiling through an above-average summer, but if the Farmer's Almanac winter forecast is right, some parts of the nation are heading for a polar opposite experience this winter.

Their annual whimsical forecast is hinting at a particularly harsh winter across much of the North with "real shivers" that "might send people in the Great Lakes areas, Northeast and North Central regions hibernating."

7 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WINTER DRIVING:

In fact, their forecast map declares much of the upper Midwest a "Hibernation Zone" with a "glacial, snow-filled" winter head with temperatures forecast to drop as cold as -40 in the North Central states in mid-January which would be near record territory for some cities (such as Fargo, North Dakota) if such forecasts came to pass.

While temperatures wouldn't be that cold in the Northeast, the Almanac is predicting "significant shivers" there. Even in the Southeast, whose forecast isn't particularly snowy, is still looking at a "shivery, wet and slushy" winter, according to the Almanac.

As for the Southern Plains, expect the brunt of winter to come in January, with heavy snow predicted in the first week of 2023 in Texas and Oklahoma.

DUDE, WHERE’S MY CAR? HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY DIG YOUR CAR FROM THE SNOW — AFTER YOU FIND IT:

If shivering is not your thing, head west. The Almanac forecasts continued drier than normal conditions across the parched Southwest and Intermountain West while the Pacific Northwest is tabbed as "brisk" but with normal precipitation. That would make for a wet winter as "normal" winter is the wettest time of the year up there.

NOAA: Agree to disagree on winter forecast
The Farmer's Almanac's shiver-fest forecast is in conflict with NOAA's current winter forecast.

Which is predicting a greater-than-average chance of a warm winter across the Southwest, Southern Plains and the entire Eastern Seaboard.

On the other hand, it's the Pacific Northwest leaning toward another chilly winter.

 

We'll see.....Maybe you can get into the cinnamon roll shipping business???

 

No carbs in that for me!

 

I’m not allowing my region to get that cold anymore. I have discovered that if I eat a helping and a half of Chicken Chili, and then combine that with a large dairy product (ice cream) with candy treat for dessert, I can create some serious firewood hoarder heat. Done and done.

 

Isn't that what the climate activists complain about.......methane?

 

Well the weather guessers that said up to an inch of rain on Thursday were off a bit. We got basically 0! A few sprinkles here and there. And looks like nothing today. That’s okay. Tractor time on day off. Priceless!

 

Get 3/4 “ this morning around 630

 

We got almost nothing again.

 

We are getting hammered. Got an inch yesterday. This afternoon clouds started forming, storm started at 5, had been rockin ever since. Hit a lull around 645 sp i ran out to the gauge and poured out 1.3 inches. Then it started monsooning again, and I imagine we've easily had at least another inch. Some of the most wicked lightning we've ever had.....

 

I thought it said you started moonshining again

 

No, but sounds like you might have??

 

Fookers....

 

You said you were getting hammered

 

Hahahaha valid point

 

Poured out another 1.6 inches at 8pm. Raining hard again...

 

Just heard a neighbor up the road got struck by lightning.

 

We had 1 hard rain yesterday and 2 this morning but I'm thinking if we received 0.25 of an inch of rain, that would be on the high end.

The cooler weather comes in Sunday night with some rain and a possible storm.

 

That sucks, how is the person?
