Prepare Yourself For Polar Temperature Swings This Winter In West Virginia, According To The Farmers Almanac

West Virginians are used to wild weather; we’ve seen our fair share of it over the past few years. But hang on to your hats and dust off your winter jackets because the crazy weather isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. According to the recently released Farmers’ Almanac predictions for the winter, West Virginia should expect unseasonably cold temperatures all the way through March, including some polar temperature swings that will leave us cranking up the heat! We are ready for Farmer’s Almanac Winter 2022 West Virginia predictions!

One of the beauties of living in a part of the country that experiences four distinct seasons is the anticipation of what comes next. After a long, cold, dark winter, we're ready for a warm, bright spring and summer.

Can you blame us? At least we can get to enjoy four glorious seasons in West Virginia.
And cool off they will, at least if the Farmers' Almanac has called the weather correctly for the 2022-2023 winter! According to the Farmers' Almanac prediction, West Virginia can expect a cold, icy, chilly mixed bag of precipitation this winter, especially toward the end of January, end of February, and end of March.

But even December looks cold; unlike previous years, December looks to start off with a chilly bang. Expect to see a white Christmas in some parts of the state!
This wintery mix of various weather types will include associated temperature swings that will take temperatures plummeting down to unseasonably cold extremes before popping back up into normal winter ranges.

In fact, West Virginia can expect to see record-breaking cold temperatures, according to the Farmers' Almanac winter 2022 predictions.
That means it might be a good time to check your supply of flashlights, batteries, candles, non-perishable food, bottled water, and other emergency supplies just in case some of those predicted storms cause power outages, as they seem so prone to do in our region.

Be ready for some seriously cold temperatures, and with all of the storms predicted this year, keep your emergency kit at hand.
Maybe those unseasonably cold swings will have a silver lining, though - fewer insect pests come spring. We can hope!

The Farmers' Almanac winter 2022 West Virginia prediction says it may just be cold enough, long enough, to make us excited to see the insects when they do arrive.
