Are you all ready for the upcoming winter season in the Peach State? The Farmers' Almanac recently released its 2024-2025 winter weather predictions in Georgia. I don't know about you, but I'm a fan of the cold and ready to be done with the dog days of summer. Last year's winter was unseasonably warm for much of the state, though there was a late-December cold snap. The Farmers' Almanac predictions for this winter will be mild and wet. However, we will see chilly temperatures with a mix of snowfall later in the season. Are you all stocked up and prepared for winter in Georgia? Here's what the Farmers' Almanac 2024 winter in Georgia predictions are saying:

The Farmers' Almanac has been publishing long-range weather predictions each year since 1818. The predictions are made using exclusive mathematical and astronomical formulas that are a closely guarded secret. The formulas take into account factors such as La Niña, sunspots, tidal actions, and planetary positions. Although the almanac doesn’t guarantee its predictions, the accuracy has been approximately 80 percent. Which, in my opinion, is pretty solid given that Mother Nature is so unpredictable.  

The entire Southeast is expected to see a much wetter winter than normal. As for the rest of the country, Carol Connare, the Almanac’s editor-in-chief reports that “This winter, temperatures will be up and snowfall down throughout most of the United States.” Winter will officially begin on December 21, and we're expected to have average winter temperatures this year, so it will be wetter and colder than last year. Several frosts are expected and we can expect colder weather to come through in late November, late January, and late February. 

If you’re wondering about snow in Georgia, we might have some luck this year. There will be no white Christmas, which I’m bummed about. But the good news is snowfall will be above average and our state will be a winter wonderland in late January and early and late February. So, be sure to stock up on all your cold weather gear and plan on spending some time enjoying Old Man Winter this year. Build a snowman with the family or visit one of our frozen waterfalls in Georgia. No matter what you do during this wintery weather, stay safe!

After such a miserably hot summer, many of us here in the Peach State might be excited for some cold winter predictions for Georgia.
