Farmers almanac predictions for 25/26 winter

[Marie5656]

The Farmers' Almanac has released its 2025–2026 winter forecast, predicting a cold and snowy season for much of the US. The coldest weather is expected from the Northern Plains to New England, with frequent snowstorms in the Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes, and mid-Atlantic. The Southeast may see average temps with wet spells, while the Southwest and Texas are expected to be wetter with little snow. The Almanac, known for its long-standing weather predictions since 1818, combines celestial and meteorological patterns for its forecasts.

I wonder if the old standards for forecasting weather still apply? The new patterns seem chaotic. Do we know Farmer's Almanac track record for the last few years?

I do not know, but it would be interesting to check out

They are now saying that even in parts of the southeast, we might have winter storms ! I am in the northern part of Alabama, and it is showing possible winter snow here, which normally only happens maybe once each winter, and then is gone almost overnight.
When we do have even an inch or two of snow, it shuts everything down here and causes all kind of accidents and clogged freeways because the South has absolutely NO snow equipment, not even any that they can temporarily borrow, like some places can do.
No one here has snow tires, and most people do not even know how to drive in snow or on ice, so the only answer is to close everything down until it warms back up and the snow goes away.

The last couple of winters, we have had cold weather around Christmas, when there is already a huge electricity drain; so we have had rolling blackouts with no electricity for hours at a time when that happens.
It seems like it is already getting cold faster than usual here, and both my husband and myself are getting ready for winter. I just ordered a nice furry-looking winter hat to keep my head and ears warm this winter.

The last I heard, So-Calif. is going to have a warmer-drier Winter this year. It will be 80 deg F Thursday here.

Thank you @Marie5656! We have a neighbor who has shared with us the predictions from Farmer's Almanac but we haven't seen her in a few months. This tends to be fairly accurate. We are still expected to be in the mid-70's in Dallas through the middle of November so this checks out.

According to our local Wolly Buggers and Persimmons it will be cold and snowy.

Nice, I love cold winters with plenty of snow. I go for walks early in the morning when it's below freezing. The 1978 blizzard was one of best times of my life.
