Farmers’ Almanac foresees a rough winter ahead

Is this what we have to look forward to? Hundreds of cars sat stranded on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago during a blizzard in February.

Forget those weather supercomputers, those satellite pictures, Doppler radar images, graphs, and maps. The Farmers’ Almanac has spoken, and it says New Englanders can expect a rough winter.
“We’re summarizing the winter for the whole country as clime and punishment,” said Sandi Duncan, managing editor of the Farmers’ Almanac.
Punishment won’t come in the form of temperature, but in precipitation, she said.
“New England and Massachusetts are going to have a very stormy and snowy winter on tap,” Duncan said. “We don’t see a very cold winter.”
Because the temperature won’t be particularly cold, the storms are expected to bring freezing rain and slushy snow. The storms should begin in November around Thanksgiving, Duncan said.
The beginning of December should come with some snow, but around Christmastime we could see some heavy rain that may lead to flooding.
Duncan also urged New Englanders to be prepared for two big storms in early to mid-February. The storms could result in over a foot of heavy, wet snow.
“I’d say take a vacation that week if you can,” Duncan said.
