Hey, Delaware – good news! Remember all the snow, slush, and ice from last winter? Remember when it was April and we hadn’t seen the ground in weeks? We won’t have to deal with that this year, because the Farmer’s Almanac has released their winter predictions, and we’re in for a treat.
Last winter felt like a never ending snowstorm. There was constantly slush on the ground and everyone I know was snowed in more than once.

And let’s not even get started about the roads! I’m pretty sure DelDOT ran out of road salt by the end of February.

This year, though, you’re in for a treat if you’d rather skip the slush
Farmer’s Almanac From November to March, temperatures will be well above average. December might be snowy (maybe we’ll have a white christmas!), but the rest of the winter looks bone dry. There may be a snowstorm in March, letting the month come in like a lion, but overall, this winter will be so pleasant.
Think of everything you can do this winter if the predictions hold true…

Set your alarm, because you might even be able to catch a sunrise without freezing your toes off!

Of course, it wouldn’t truly be a Delaware winter if it weren’t for at least one storm - so be prepared and make the most out of it!
