You either love the winter in Utah or you hate it. But no matter which one it is, you do all you can to survive a Utah winter. While we know that winter in the Beehive State is typically quite cold and very stormy, it’s always fun to see what the Farmers’ Almanac predicts. This year, their 2023-2024 winter predictions tell us to brace ourselves for a cold and wet season. Are you ready for it?
The Farmers’ Almanac has been predicting winter weather in the United States for more than 200 years. Due to their impressive 80 percent accuracy rate, the Farmers' Almanac has become a source many people look to as they plan their winter travels.
While winter officially starts on December 21, you can expect winter weather to arrive before then in the Beehive State. Farmers' Almanac predicts plenty of cold temperatures and several storms to end 2023, meaning a white Christmas can be expected this year.
Storms will continue throughout January, and February is expected to see heavy mountain snows during the first week of the month. It sounds like this will be an excellent year to pull out the skis and snowboards and perfect your skills …
So, when will winter end in Utah? Well, expect the cold for quite some time. The Farmers’ Almanac has named this winter season “The Brrr is Back” and predicts that cold and stormy weather will continue clear into March.
However, don’t start planning an escape from Utah just yet as the entire country is expected to experience cold temperatures this winter. I guess we all need to pull out our sweaters, firewood, and hot chocolate!
