Here in Idaho, we are no stranger to cold winters. We simply bundle up, sip on a hot beverage, and express gratitude for our working furnaces. However, this upcoming winter it appears we won’t only have the cold to deal with, but a lot of snow as well. The Farmers’ Almanac 2023-2024 winter predictions were recently released, and Idaho can expect a wet and snowy winter. Are you ready for it?
The Farmers’ Almanac has predicted winter weather around the United States for more than 230 years. They use their data to help you prepare for the upcoming season and while it is hard to be 100 percent correct, they do boast an impressive 80 percent accuracy rate.
While winter doesn’t officially start until December 21, according to the Farmers' Almanac predictions this year, the cold, snowy weather is expected to start before then. In fact, some areas of the country may experience blizzard conditions, resulting in plenty of snow before Christmas.
The winter weather will continue to come in full force during January 2024. In the middle of the month, we can expect large storms to bring heavy snowfall. Wet and snowy weather will likely be seen all along the Pacific Coast and in the eastern states as well.
So when will winter end in Idaho? According to the Farmers’ Almanac forecast, stormy weather will continue into March. And, as in years past, Mother Nature will likely tease us with signs of spring, only to be followed by harsh winter weather.
Don’t feel too special, however. It isn’t just Idaho that is expected to have a cold winter. The Farmers’ Almanac is telling the country that the “Brrr is back.” It’s going to be a cold winter throughout America and I suggest breaking out the sweaters, cutting some firewood, and stocking up on hot chocolate today!
