Get Ready To Bundle Up, The Farmers Almanac is Predicting Freezing Cold Temperatures This Winter In South Dakota

If you come from South Dakota, you are used to snowy and frigid cold winters that seem to last forever, so you may be surprised to learn that the Farmers' Almanac is predicting... well, the same thing this winter. Here's the Farmers' Almanac winter weather forecast for South Dakota's upcoming winter, 2022-2023:

Since 1818, the Farmers' Almanac has been America's go-to for weather predictions, and this year is no different, with the periodical - named “America’s #1 almanac and oldest continually published" - calling for frigid temperatures around the Midwest (which is mostly unsurprising).

As per the forecast, entitled Winter: It's Coming!, South Dakota can expect "Hibernation Zone" temperatures, which stretch from Montana to Minnesota and down to Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri.

This year calls for plenty of snow and the Farmers' Almanac does predict a few storms for SoDak, including lots of cold and snowflakes (as well as extreme cold) throughout January.

Come January, South Dakota could see some blizzards, with a huge storm potentially blowing in mid-month.

In terms of accuracy, the Farmers' Almanac has a track record of correct predictions 80% of the time, so now is the time to buy new boots and coats if you need them!

How does the Farmers' Almanac foresee the future? Instead of relying on the latest technology, the Almanac uses its tried and true method of following sunspot activity, the position of the planets, and the tidal action of the moon.
