Each year, the Farmers’ Almanac releases predictions for the upcoming winter weather. We’d rather be working on our summer bucket lists than preparing firewood and snow shovels. But it’s important to be prepared for whatever weather comes our way. A single day in December 2020 saw more snowfall in New York City than the entire winter prior. This winter, the Farmers’ Almanac is predicting about average snowfall in New York. However, we could see big temperature swings, especially towards the end of winter. Are you prepared? Here’s what the Farmers’ Almanac is predicting for this winter in New York.
The Farmers’ Almanac has been published since 1818. The guide publishes long-range weather predictions based on mathematical formulas and astronomical events. Weather pattern guides are predicted up to a year and a half in advance!
