You’re Going To Love These Predictions About Montana’s Mild Upcoming Winter
Since 1792, people have been consulting the Farmer’s Almanac for the weather forecast. The Almanac owes its staying power to its accuracy, which tends to fall around 80%.
We do have some slightly bad news for Western Montanans, but for the majority of the state, this winter should be a nice change of pace.
The coldest temperature ever recorded here was 70 degrees below zero at Rogers Pass north of Helena in January of 1954.
The majority of the state, especially the Billings area, can expect a warmer winter than usual this year. the coldest periods will be from late November to early December, meaning you can get the majority of those frigid sub-zero days out of the way early.
According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the snowiest periods will be mid-late November, mid-late December and early March.
Missoula and the rest of the western half of the state are set to catch some colder temperatures from the Pacific Northwest's harsh winter.
The snowiest periods will likely be in December (all of it), mid-January, early and mid-February, and early March.
And for what it's worth, the Old Farmer's Almanac claims that next April and May will be warmer than usual.
Does this make you excited for winter in Montana, or do you dread it? Although the cold can be unpleasant, we love the way that snow transforms the Treasure State.
