Winter 2012 Forecast

For the last 193 years, the Farmer’s Almanac has been forecasting the weather with amazing accuracy.

Last year's predictions of heavy snow in February were all too accurate.

If you live in the Midwest or the East Coast, you might still be shivering from the frigid temperatures and deep snows of last winter.

So what does the Farmer’s Almanac predict for the upcoming winter season?

Folks living on the east Coast can expect above average temperatures and heavy precipitation. Snow storms shouldn’t be as harsh as a year ago, but expect more rain to accompany the snow.



Midwesterner’s can expect above average snowfall coupled with warmer-than-usual temperatures. Of all the regions in the U.S., the Farmer’s Almanac predicts the worst winter weather conditions for the Northern Plains, Northern Rockies and Western Great Lakes.

Yes, it’s all just a prediction at this point, but history tells us that the Farmer’s Almanac is pretty accurate when it comes to this sort of thing.

And, let’s face it. If you live in the northern half of the country, snow is inevitable. It’s just a case of how many snowstorms there will be, and how much snow will fall from each storm.



For those living in Canada, the Farmer's Almanac provides predictions as well. Snowfalls are expected to be heavy for the most part and temperatures anticipated to be above average to frigid across the Great White North.
