Farmers' Almanac predicts 'wild weather' in winter outlook. Is it accurate, though?

(NEXSTAR) – The editors of the Farmers’ Almanac are predicting “a wild weather ride across the nation” in their latest extended forecast.

That doesn’t necessarily mean any of it is going to happen, though.

Among the “wild” weather events forecasted for winter, the Farmers’ Almanac predicts “consistent cold snaps” from the Pacific Northwest to New England; frequent or periodic snowstorms in the Pacific Northwest, the Great Lakes, the Northeast and even the Mid-Atlantic; and wetter-then average weather in the southern half of the country, with cold, sometimes freezing precipitation in and around Texas.

In its press release, issued Monday, the Farmers’ Almanac summed up the 2025-2026 winter season for much of the U.S. in three words: “Chill, Snow, Repeat.”
