"Cold, Snowy" 2023-2024 Winter Forecast by The Old Farmer's Almanac

The 2024 Old Farmer’s Almanac is now available everywhere complete with its 2023-2024 winter weather forecast. Winter arrives this year on December 21, 2023 and sometimes brings shoveling, snow blowing, dealing with bad roads, and unbearable temperatures with it. Lately, we haven’t had much snow to talk about in our area, but this winter may be different according to the almanac with above-normal precipitation and snowfall expected for the entire region. Below, you’ll see forecasts for the Atlantic Corridor and the Appalachians, which covers all of our (DC) area. >>>

kids, and PUP, that is! My winter boots are still 'alive.'

'Will There Be Snow? Yes! Winter precipitation and snowfall will be above normal (2 to 3 inches above monthly averages). The snowiest periods will occur at the end of December, late January, and mid-February. We don’t expect a white Christmas.
How Cold Will Winter Be? Winter temperatures will be above normal overall. Specifically, December is slightly above average temps; temperatures for January and February are below average. The coldest spell will run from late January into mid-February.'

From roughly Kentucky and Virginia southward. Then westward to the Pacific.

We shall see in C a couple of months.

consulting an almanac or weather forecast.

For several years here in western NY, we've had warm autumns and the leaves were late in changing colors. The first week in October this year looked like more of the same with temps in the 80s F for about 5 days. But they dropped to lower than normal and have been mostly in the 40s F and occasional low 50s.

However, we had such a hot summer that it will take a long time for Lake Erie to cool. So that means lake effect snow.
