Farmers’ Almanac Releases an Extreme Winter Forecast for 2022-23
Farmers' Almanac releases its extended winter weather forecast. Get ready to shake, shiver, and shovel!

Are you Ready to Shake, Shiver, and Shovel?
Lewiston, ME: Every year since 1818, the Farmers’ Almanac provides an extended weather forecast that helps people plan ahead. This year, with the extreme summer weather conditions broiling the country, and the growing concern over the rising costs of heating oil, Farmers’ Almanac is releasing its winter weather forecast earlier than ever. The 2023 Farmers’ Almanac, which hits the store shelves on August 15, is warning readers that this winter will be filled plenty of shaking, shivering, and shoveling.
How Cold?
Shivery temperatures are predicted to rattle warm weather seekers in the Southeast and South Central states, but the real shivers might send people in the Great Lakes areas, Northeast, and North Central regions hibernating. According to the Almanac, the North Central States are forecast to experience extremely cold temperatures, (possibly 40° below zero!) especially during mid-January.
Areas in the western half of the country should escape major shivers, with an overall forecast of brisk temperatures predicted in the Northwest and mild temperatures in the Southwest.
Shovel Worthy
The Farmers’ Almanac suggests a stormy winter in on schedule especially for the eastern half of the country. For some areas this may mean snow, but for others it will result in more slush and mush.
January 2023 looks to be the stormiest for many areas including Texas and Oklahoma, where heavy snow is predicted during the first week. Unfortunately, a dry winter is predicted for the Southwest states, which won’t help the drought situation.
Year-Long Guide to Great Living
The 2023 Farmers’ Almanac offers 16 months of weather prediction starting with September 2022 going through December 2023. New for the 2023 edition are weather summaries and maps for all four seasons in 2023.
Last year, the Almanac predicted many of the 2021-2022 winter storms, most notably: the early-season nor’easter in the end of October, and the unusual blizzard in the last week of April (in parts of Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas).

Can I view older calendars on the web? In particular the dates and which horoscope their in alignment with within the month from 2022?
SO I just got the email regarding this yesterday, August 31, 2023…..why are you sending out stuff that’s a year old? This article mentions how January 2023 will be…..well that’s long past already. Really reduces any faith in your “forecasts” anymore. Not like it used to be, that’s for sure!
Hi Leanne,
Unfortunately in order to share our forecasts, make our forecasts, offer this web site and the Almanac, we have to partner with companies who help make money. So unfortunately the company who sends out daily emails sometimes picks up something that’s dated. I will be reminding them not to. We do have the most current forecast here which is available for free for your viewing – https://www.farmersalmanac.com/extended-forecast
What is the weather looking like for South Louisiana?
How cold will it get this winter in south Georgia
We love your forecasts. Forever I have said you are the most reliable because you use myriad factors that others don’t use. How did The Almanac miss the Southwest Winter Forecast by a mile? Flagstaff is now experiencing its 5th snowiest winter of all time. Been colder than normal, too. A far cry from drier than normal and mild as you had forecasted. Please explain.
Weather in Austin,Tex around Easter 2023

WHAT Native Americans did not have to see what the white man was doing. Remember they were hers first
Preach it !!!! Trust your government ? Go ask a Indian
We prefer Native Americans
Actually the viking people were here first. There has been alot of new discoveries over the last century. Might went to look into that
Are we going to see much snow in Nashville TN this winter??
Yes
I hope we do get some cold weather in the low country of SC. Tired of mosquitoes.
I love to read about old predictions my grandfather always went by the Farmer’s Almanac he’s a really you know what time of the year it is what you’re expecting of prepare for it rather it happens or not and you don’t lose out and I’d like to no how we got talking about other people’s where they from whatever was talking about the weather don’t make a big deal out all this we’re all humans will be red so think about it people
I am 1/2 American Indian & 1/2 Italian & you have NOT in any way offended me. So people who think that they are standing up for my nationality that don’t have a drop of American Indian blood in them are only offending those of us who do. STOP thinking you are standing up for us because all you are doing is inciting trouble for us.
I think your joke is funny.
It’s always some White Liberal that is ‘Affended’
Couldn’t agree more.Deal with the entitlement every day.
Are we going to see snow in Thomasville North Carolina?
Yes
What about Thomasville NC. Will we see snow?
We’re no longer living in the 50s. That statement is gauche, at best, and it’s not funny in the least.
I have Native American blood and im not offended by that but offended by the rude comments! Lighten up! Humor is just that, humor!!!
That is a very insensitive comment. Not a joke… the white man is primarily responsible for their demise, not their survival. The Native Americans knew how to predict and prepare for winter long, long before any “help” from the White Man.
Hey Karen, easy. Can you not take a joke. Chill out.
Get over your B!!! Stop trying to cause problems.
Don’t be stupid and racist. That was an innocent comment.
HOW!
I hope we get some cold weather in NE TX this year and next. The snow would be welcome for our ewes to lamb in.
Hope no icy winter, I travel a lot taking kids to school
keep me posted
Les is correct, Dave should look at the facts
I note no mention of geo-engineering. That is climate manipulation by government. In my view, that must be taken into consideration, as their chemtrails (full of aluminum nanoparticles) are harming and changing Earth’s weather. See geoengineeringwatch .org.
what Les says is actually the truth.. it is stranger than fiction
Lol conspiracy theories
agree in part. but you have to also consider the changes in our atmosphere, magnetic field weakening and the sun and solar system. The bigger picture. Check out what has happening lately with pluto, neptune and mars.
Thank You Farmers Almanac, I am trying to get wood in.
