Farmers' Almanac Shares Predictions For Remainder Of WI Winter

Everyday I am holding my breath when I look at the weather forecast. At this point, I barely remember what an awful winter is like!

Of course, there's benefits to the snow, even though inconvenient at times. Many local businesses depend on snow so in that instance, I definitely wouldn't mind more.

As of now, it doesn't seem like that is going to happen. A local meteorologist recently shared that we could have our least snowy January ever this month.

Some light snow moved in this week and there's more in the forecast this weekend, leaving all of us to wonder what kind of path the rest of the winter will take!

While not everyone believes or agrees with the findings of the Farmer's Almanac, I always like to read up on their predictions and see if they end up coming true, especially when it comes to winter!

The Rest Of This Wisconsin Winter

The Farmers' Almanac is predicting a mild and dry rest of the winter in Wisconsin! This means no long cold snaps or heavy snowstorms bringing feet of snow. It looks like this mild winter may continue after all.

The Farmers' Almanac also says this winter will be 'uneventful' for the remainder of it. However, only time will tell what mother nature really has in store. Stay tuned!

The 15 Snowiest Winters On Record In Duluth History

Since the National Weather Service began keeping weather records in Duluth in the late 1800s, here are the 15 winters with the highest snowfall totals on historical record.

It is worth noting that the official records from 1941-today have been recorded at the area now known as the Duluth International Airport (away from the lake, on top of the hill). Before then, various locations closer to Lake Superior had been used for official weather recording data. For anyone that knows anything about how Lake Superior and the hill play a role in temperature and snow, you can see how this makes older records inherently different.

While these records note the "snowiest winters", they actually include all seasonal snowfall from July 1 through June 30 of the following year.
