You May Not Like These Predictions About Nevada’s Cold And Wet Upcoming Winter

Well, folks, the Old Farmer's Almanac has just released its 2017-2018 winter predictions. Winter? Why am I discussing the upcoming winter when many of us are braving the heat (especially in the southern desert) and lack of precipitation? If you're like me, you may already be wishing for cooler weather. So what does the Almanac predict is in Nevada's upcoming winter future? Be forewarned, unless you love the cold and wet weather, you may not be happy.

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, Nevada is in for a colder winter with above average precipitation across the state.

According to the Almanac, the Desert Southwest Region (which includes Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Pahrump) is in for a colder than normal winter with above average precipitation.

November, February, and March is expected to record the lowest temperatures and greatest amount of precipitation.

For those of you in southern Nevada (particularly the Las Vegas area), remember that flooding is prevalent and be extremely careful when driving through deep, freestanding, or rapidly rushing water.

In the northern part of the state, the Almanac predicts that the Intermountain Region (of which Reno, Sparks, Ely, Lake Tahoe, and Carson City are a part) will experience slightly cooler winter weather with above-normal snowfall.

December is predicted to be the coldest and snowiest month of the upcoming winter.

This is great news for skiers and snowboarders as Lake Tahoe's resorts will be spectacular for winter sports. Pictured: Diamond Peak Ski Resort in Incline Village.

Just remember to stay warm and be safe!

So, while we are currently sweating out the rest of the summer and possibly eagerly anticipating a cooler autumn, Nevada's upcoming winter is predicted to make us wish for summer again.
