Winter is coming – at least, for a little while.

Last year, we experienced a pretty mild, short winter (at least compared to average winter temperatures). This year, we can expect a little more of the same, with the possibility of a white Christmas. Read below to learn more about what the Farmers’ Almanac is predicting for Indiana’s 2017-2018 winter.

Adam Moss/Flickr The good news is, this should be the worst of the winter weather. October through November is predicted to be warmer than usual, and by early to mid February, temperatures will be rising again.
