For those wondering just how these predictions are made—nobody is sitting around a crystal ball, there is an actual formula used based on complex mathematical and astronomical formulas.
The formula that is used for these weather predictions uses a variety of different factors, including planetary activity, the moon, sunspot activity, and tidal action to name a few.

While the formula remains much of a secret, we do know that it was developed in the late 1700s in order for farmers to understand the weather predictions to aid in their crop growing for the year.
This upcoming winter is going to be a doozy for Georgia, but not for the way that you might think.

According to the Farmer’s Almanac, winter in Georgia is expected to be very mild in terms of temperature, but with above-average rainfall.
This is good news for Georgians who are trying to stay away from heavy snowfall and cold temperatures, but not so good in terms of staying dry.

So while Georgia might not be inundated with snowfall this year, the bad news is that it still is going to be wetter than normal.
The coldest periods in Georgia will be from mid-to-late November, early-to-mid December, and late February.
