The Farmers' Almanac has just released their 2021-22 predictions for winter in Connecticut. Are you prepared for the season? Last year's winter was a doozy. Areas like Bridgeport saw much higher-than-average snowfall. This winter is expected to see roughly average snowfall compared to usual. However, dramatic temperature swings are expected, particularly in the latter part of winter. Do you have your winter wear and firewood ready for the season? Here's what the Farmers' Almanac is predicting for the upcoming winter in Connecticut.
The Farmers' Almanac publishes long-range weather predictions. The predictions come from exclusive mathematical and astronomical formulas. The guide has been released each August since 1818.
Sunspots, tidal schedules, and more are used to predict weather up to 18 months in advance.
Expect temperatures to be average or a little below average for much of the early part of winter. The Farmers' Almanac is predicting average snowfall for most areas of the northeast in early winter.
We're expected to have drastic temperature swings as the winter continues. January storms are expected to have a mix of precipitation. The Northeast may be affected late January by a "winter whopper" of a blizzard.
The eastern third of the country is expected to have 57% fewer days of precipitation in February than January! So you may not see nearly as much snow come February.
March is expected to have normal precipitation levels for the month. However, there may be dramatic temperature fluctuations throughout the month.
Several strong winter storms are expected in the northeast region of the country. These are more likely to occur toward winter's close.
The rising and falling of temperatures in Connecticut can be frustrating. Make sure to be prepared for all scenarios and we'll weather through like always!
