Fall is underway and snow is, of course, on it's way.

It's feeling like fall and we're all gearing up for Halloween. Before we know it, it will be even colder outside and that's when we're keeping an eye out for snow.

We know our first frost isn't that far away but Farmers' Almanac is predicting a particularly hard snowstorm for us this winter season.

Our Winter Overall

So here's the good news: winter doesn't look insane here. Knock on wood.

But the almanac is "redflagging" one specific time as having a "very active storm track" that could dump a lot of snow, ice, and/or sleet and really strong winds.

They want you to watch out for January 20th-23rd & January 24th-27th.

The exact territory of that storm isn't known yet, besides the eastern half of the country, and there's no guess on how much snow it could produce. The Northwest and Texas look to be in for several inches of snow in early February so it's a good chance that around that time of the year in 2025 we'll get snow too.

It's only a little later than the big snow was this year. January 6th-12th, 2024 was the snowiest week on record in the QC. We got over 25" of snow in that week (according to the Quad Cities International Airport measurement).

The almanac does predict "above-average precipitation" for the Midwest (which could include rain, mind you). But basically the forecast for winter 2025 is: wet and cold. Very exciting, not surprising stuff.
