We technically still have a few more weeks of summer, so at this point you’re probably more worried about maximizing your remaining beach time than about digging out your winter tires. As much as we grumble about summer ending, many of us secretly love winter – so you’ll want to pay attention to the newest predictions from the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

If you’re a snow lover, you’ll be in luck this year. They’re predicting cold winter with more snow than usual.

According to the Farmer’s Almanac prediction, winter will start early with a very cold and snowy November. December and March are also predicted to be very snowy. January won’t see as much precipitation, but you’ll want an extra blanket to get through the month.
