According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, temperatures should be warmer than average this year.

Although temperatures will be up, we can also expect more precipitation than usual but much of it will be rain instead of snow.

The snowiest times will be in early December, late January, and early February.

While we can’t get rid of our winter coats and snow shovels, we can look forward to a milder winter.

February is predicted to be warmer and drier than past years, so maybe it will seem like spring even earlier this year.

Above average temperatures and below normal precipitation mean some unexpected blue skies this winter. And maybe even an off-season beach day or two.
