You Might Not Like These Predictions About Idaho’s Snowy And Wet Upcoming Winter
If you’re a longtime Idahoan, you know that our winters are never predictable. Sometimes the winter season brings on a plethora of snow storms and frigid temperatures. Sometimes they can be incredibly mild, with only a few sprinklings of snowfall mixed in. Although we won’t know what winter is like until it’s actually here (and even then it can always change things up on us), The Old Farmers Almanac does a pretty good job of making predictions about what we can expect out of the winter season every year. The predictions for the 2018-2019 winter have just been posted and you may or may not like what they have to say. Check it out.
It may still be summer but winter will be here before you know it. Last year, The Old Farmer's Almanac predicted a mild winter and they were right, for the most part. Although we did experience some frigid temperatures, we also experienced drastically less snowfall than the previous year. So what is this year going to be like?
According to their predictions, Idahoans can expect a wet and snowy winter. However, temperatures are expected to be above normal than usual, which is great news for those who hate those unbearably freezing temperatures.
The coldest periods are expected to occur during late December, early January, and early February. There might be some periods of frigid temperatures, but these will be counteracted with periods of warmer weather than we usually experience during this time of year.
Along with rain, snowfall is also expected to be above normal during the winter months. As per usual, the northern parts of the Gem State will experience the most snow, but the southern region certainly won't be lacking.
It's predicted that we can expect snow to appear for the entirety of the winter season. Farmer's Almanac predicts the snowiest periods to occur in late November, late December, early and late January, mid to late February, and early March.
Along with lingering snow, it looks like winter might stick around a little longer than expected. They also predict that our region will experience temperatures below normal throughout April and May.
