You May Not Like These Predictions About Louisiana’s Wild Upcoming Winter

With the brutally high temperatures this time of year, you start to yearn for the cooler months of winter. But how cold will it get? Well, the Farmer’s Almanac just released their 2018 winter predictions and Louisiana is in for an interesting winter. Are you ready for it?

While we don’t see the intense winters that the north does, it does look like we will have a rainier and colder winter than normal.
