You’re Going To Love These Predictions About Kentucky’s Mild Upcoming Winter
As summer ends, you may be excited to welcome the cooler temperatures of fall, but also a little depressed that winter is not too far behind. Winter in Kentucky can mean days warm enough to sport flip-flops, to treacherous ice storms, to a foot of snow that closes schools for a week. Each year the Farmer’s Almanac releases its forecast for the upcoming winter and this year, it seems, Kentucky will be spared. If you’re not a fan of freezing cold and snow, then gear up for the winter of your dreams.
If you're a winter person, then you may not be a big fan of the Farmer's Almanac predictions of our upcoming winter.
The coldest periods will be in early to mid-December, late December, early January, and early and mid-February. So it sounds like January, especially, will be fairly warm.
If you like hiking in the winter, this year may be a good one to get out and explore.
And while we may get some of that, if the Farmer's Almanac is correct, it'll be a warm one this winter, which is probably just fine with most of you. Then again...how often is the Almanac correct?
