With fall just around the corner, it’s almost time to start thinking about getting ready for the winter weather.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac has just come out with its forecast for winter and told WTOP what the D.C. area can expect.

“We’re calling for the coldest times to be in mid to late December and early and late January,” said Carol Connare, editor of the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac started in 1792 and is the only almanac that’s been continuously published.
