You either love the winter in Utah or you hate it. But no matter which one it is, you do all you can to survive a Utah winter. While we know that winter in the Beehive State is typically quite cold and very stormy, it’s always fun to see what the Farmers’ Almanac predicts. This year, the Farmers' Almanac 2024 winter in Utah predictions tell us to prepare for a mild, yet stormy season. How does that sound?

The Farmers’ Almanac has been predicting winter weather in the United States for more than 200 years. Due to their impressive 80 percent accuracy rate, the Farmers' Almanac has become a source many people look to as they plan their winter travels.

While winter officially starts on December 21, you can expect winter weather much earlier in the Beehive State. The winter weather predictions in Utah say that one of the snowiest times of the season will actually come as early as the middle of November. Shortly following, in late November, we can also expect one of the coldest times of the year. This means that preparations for winter snow gear and snow shovels must come early this season.

For Utah, and most of the Intermountain West, precipitation is expected to be about average or just above average this year. While mid-November is expected to see lots of snow, more is expected in early and late January and even into mid-March. It sounds like this will be an excellent year to pull out the skis and snowboards and perfect your skills …

So, when will winter end in Utah? Well, expect the snow for quite some time. The Farmers’ Almanac predicts that cold and snowy weather will continue clear into March. Fortunately, this isn't expected to be a year of frigid temperatures as they are predicted to be above normal for most of the season.

With plenty of snow and above-average temperatures, this is looking to be an excellent season for those hoping to spend their winter months on the slopes. And, if you are like me, I'm already looking forward to cozy sweaters, firewood, and hot chocolate! Oh, and the gorgeous frozen landscape that winter brings in Utah.
