Unlike other sources that predict a hot, wet winter, Farmers' Almanac (an annual North American magazine that is known for its long-term weather forecasts and astronomical data) predicts a “colder than usual” season extending from the continental fault to the Appalachians.

“Contrary to history, our time-tested formula points to a very long, cold and snowy winter,” editor Peter Geiger said in a statement on the website.

While the Farmers Almanac predicts a cold winter, the Old Farmer's Almanac — a separate reference book containing weather forecasts, planting charts, astronomical data, recipes, and articles — predicts “temperatures above normal” in most regions of the country.

In an interview with Geiger, he said: "You can start talking about snow at the end of November." In late November and December, a series of blizzards are predicted. Several hurricanes predicted for March.

He also added that states located in the middle of the country will see more snow. In areas of the Great Lakes and New England, there will be more heavy snowfalls.

The coldest temperatures will be recorded across the country in mid-February. The winter season is expected to end at the end of March.

Farmers almanac should not be confused with the competing almanac of old farmers, which is considered the oldest weather forecast in North America.

AccuWeather meteorologist Max Vido believes that the almanac of the old farmer is right about the temperature, but the number of storms this winter may vary. AccuWeather has not yet released its winter forecast.

But Vido thinks that winter will show its “minus” in February.

In general, meteorologists usually mockingly refer to the annual projections of these almanacs.

Weather forecasting is “a rigorous science, using data from physics, modern mathematics, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics,” wrote University of Georgia scientist J. Marshall Shepherd.
