Pittsburghers Should Expect Normal Cold And Snow This Winter According To The Farmers’ Almanac
While it might seem like summer just started, we’re already looking ahead to winter and what the winter forecast in Pittsburgh looks like, according to the Farmers’ Almanac. Still, we have a bit of time to enjoy the warmer temperatures and to prepare for the cold days ahead. If the Farmers’ Almanac’s forecast proves correct, we’ll be in for a pretty normal winter here in Pittsburgh.
Snow seemed to be a bit scarce last winter. In fact, Pittsburgh saw just over 38 inches of snow from October 2019 through March 2020. The city typically averages 40.3 inches each winter.
Before it made its annual forecast, the Farmers’ Almanac divided the United States into seven zones. Pennsylvania, the New England states, Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey make up zone one.
November is expected to begin with a rush of cold, although Pittsburgh may not receive its first snowfall until around Thanksgiving. Don’t get too concerned, however, as the first significant snowfall, according to the Farmers’ Almanac, isn’t expected until the second week of December.
The Farmers’ Almanac predicts January will feature bitterly cold temperatures, although the heavy snowfall will predominately be in New York and throughout New England.
Both snow and rain will define March while we’ll go into the first full month of spring, in April, with what the Farmers’ Almanac says will be warmer than normal temperatures.
