Tune up the snowblower, bring out the snow shovels, and stock up on hot chocolate: here’s what the Farmers' Almanac winter weather forecast for 2022-2023 is calling for! Winter in Wisconsin appears to be business as usual.

Wisconsin is no stranger to the white stuff. On average, about 35 to 40 winter weather events hit Wisconsin each snow season.

Snowfall totals vary widely in the Dairy State - the average seasonal snowfall in Wisconsin ranges from about 40 inches in the south to more than 160 inches along the shores of Lake Superior.

In January, Wisconsin will receive more than its share of cold temperatures and snowflakes. It says the winter overall ought to be "unreasonably cold", and honestly, we aren't even shocked. The almanac suggests a snowstorm could strike the second week of January, the final week of February, and the second week of March. Will it drift up to your windowsills? Put a sweater on and wait to find out!

Speaking of sweaters, you’ll need one. Below-normal temperatures are expected with another blast of cold air hitting in March.

The state snowplow drivers are ready for winter: in a typical season, they use 526,000 tons of salt and 14,000 tons of sand statewide. There are 755 county-owned snowplows that work to keep the state highway system open.

Good news: February, except for the occasional snowstorm, ought to be milder than usual. Finally, a break!

This forecast is some good news for winter sports enthusiasts. Some Wisconsin winters have been less than ideal for snowmobiling - if the forecast holds, the trails may stay open longer this year since we're gonna get snowed on something fierce. There will also be plenty of winter fun for cross-country skiers, snowshoers, and sledders.
