If there's one thing we can be certain of by living in New Hampshire, it's the uncertainty of what the weather will do - especially in winter. As a kid, I recall long snowy winters and would stay outside until I froze solid. In recent years, however, the trend has been toward shorter and milder winters as worldwide climate change becomes more prevalent. But anything could happen, and the Farmers' Almanac 2023-2024 winter predictions offer some insight as to what might be in store.
After an unseasonably mild winter last year, conditions look to be back on track for traditional cold and snowy conditions this season.
Currently, the Farmers' Almanac long-term predictions are calling for blizzard conditions and blowing snow beginning in December.
No matter what form the first precipitation of the season takes, it always seems to be an adjustment for us hearty New Englanders!
Snowstorms will also most likely be mixed with warmer periods of sleet and ice. New Hampshire is no stranger to ice storms that can cause structural and environmental damage as well as knocking out power.
A snowy winter will be good for the state's ski areas, as the recent trend of mild winters have resulted in shorter seasons for skiers.
Deep snow in the mountains is also a boon for winter hikers and snowshoers. Forests become magical landscapes, the air is crystal clear, and best of all, there are no bugs!
The month of March typically marks the beginning of a seasonal transition here, but it might not go quietly due to wild temperature swings.
Winter in New Hampshire can be a harsh season but it can also turn our magnificent natural scenery into a magical wonderland. So we'll have to see how the 2023-2024 winter predictions pan out. Check out these 10 spots where you can experience the beauty of winter in the Granite State. Before heading out, make sure you are well-prepared for the cold weather!
