You May Not Like These Predictions About Wisconsin’s Positively Frigid Upcoming Winter

Hang on tight there, fellow residents of Wisconsin. The Old Farmer’s Almanac just released a preview of its 2017 almanac, and it doesn’t look good for the Badger State. The almanac uses a unique mixture of scientific data and historical records, which isn’t exactly the same as getting your weather report from a meteorologist, but the almanac’s website claims that it’s 80% accurate.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac provided a sneak peek into its winter weather projections this week, and you might not be too happy about them.

It’s projected that Wisconsin will experience a higher than normal volume of snow. Get that snow shovel out, or gas up the snow blower.

In addition to all that snow, the average temperatures this winter are projected to be even lower than normal. All that ice? Once it coats everything in sight, it’s not going anywhere.

Hopefully, we won’t be looking at a repeat of "Polar Vortex 2014."

The lakes will likely be frozen solid for most of the winter season…

...and you’ll want to take plenty of precautions on Wisconsin’s icy, snowy roads.

U.S. Climate data shows that the coldest month in Wisconsin is January. The average low temperature that month is only 16 degrees Fahrenheit! Can you imagine an even colder average this year?

It might be hot outside now, but cold, wet weather is coming our way!

For more detailed Wisconsin weather predictions, buy a copy of The Old Farmer’s Almanac on August 30th. The cost is just $6.95.
