While we might still be feeling the heat and aftereffects of summer in Georgia, it’s still worth thinking ahead to winter. Knowing whether or not you need to get out the snow shovels and ice picks early is important, especially in Georgia when the weather can turn on a dime. However, these new 2019 winter predictions from the Old Farmer’s Almanac were recently released and you might be in for a surprise.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac is a classic and iconic publication that has been providing tried-and-true weather predictions since 1792.
