Every year, The Old Farmer's Calendar It outlines the weather forecast for the upcoming year for locations across North America. The latest forecast for the approaching winter may be welcome news for those bracing for a painfully cold snap.
Accordingly Dust, Calendar It predicts a “calmer, milder” winter for much of the United States in 2025. In the lead-up to the release of this year’s edition, Calendar He's been releasing some of his predictions for different parts of the U.S. every day leading up to the book's August 27 release.
“This winter, temperatures will rise and snowfall will decrease across much of the United States.” Calendar Editor Carol Connare said in a statement: “While there will still be plenty of winter chill outside and powder snow to enjoy, the high costs associated with the season shouldn't hit as hard. Overall it's going to be a very mild, uneventful winter and potentially a welcome respite from the extremes of recent years.”
For example, the Northeast, which includes Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and eastern New York, should expect “a calmer-than-normal season that is not too harsh or harsh.” Temperatures in the region are expected to be above average.
Residents of the Atlantic corridor, which includes southern New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as cities such as Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C. and Richmond, can expect a similar weather forecast.
The middle of the country can likely expect more snow than normal. The High Plains east of the Rocky Mountains will see above-normal snow levels. The same goes for the Intermountain West, including popular ski locations like Lake Tahoe in Colorado and California.
Meanwhile, southern California could get “wet and soggy” from torrential downpours throughout the winter, the traditional rainy season in the region. That runs counter to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's latest La Niña forecast.
If you're looking for new slopes to ski and snowboard on this winter, it looks like you'll have plenty of options to choose from.
