Farmers' Almanac Expects 'Wet Winter Whirlwind'

The Farmers’ Almanac winter weather forecast is calling for a winter of rapid-fire storms of both rain and snow.

The Farmers’ Almanac for more than 200 years has used a closely-guarded proprietary formula to make predictions.

Their forecaster, “Caleb Weatherbee,” says to expect the coldest outbreak of the season during the final week of January and into the beginning of February. That’s when frigid Arctic air will bring a sharp plunge in temperatures nationwide.

From The Farmers’ Almanac:

Winter in New England and the Northeast will be stormy with above-normal amounts of winter precipitation and near-to above-normal temperatures. Snow will be most prevalent over the interior and mountainous terrains, while sleet and rain will be more common near the coast, especially near and along the I-95 corridor.
