Winter is coming – earlier and sticking around longer than typical – the Farmers' Almanac predicts. An 'old-fashioned' winter awaits most of the U.S.

The newest Farmers’ Almanac outlook calls for dramatic temperature swings, widespread precipitation, and early snowfall. The winter has been dubbed the season of “chill, snow, repeat."

The Farmers' Almanac (not to be confused with the Old Farmer's Almanac) recently released its winter weather forecast for later this year and into early 2026. The theme for this year's forecast is "chill, snow, repeat," according to the more than-200-year-old publication.
