While we might still be feeling the heat and aftereffects of summer in Georgia, it’s still worth thinking ahead to winter. Knowing whether or not you need to get out the snow shovels and ice picks early is important, especially in Georgia when the weather can turn on a dime. However, these new 2019 winter predictions from the Old Farmer’s Almanac were recently released and you might be in for a surprise.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac is a classic and iconic publication that has been providing tried-and-true weather predictions since 1792.
For those curious, the Farmer’s Almanac uses a secret mathematical and astronomical formula to make predictions, based off of data gathered from the moon’s pull on the atmosphere.
If you’re one of those die-hard Almanac fans and have been following these mathematical predictions each year, then this one in Georgia might be quite a shock, especially if you’re expecting the worst.
The forecast through the Old Farmer’s Almanac states that the upcoming winter throughout the majority of the country will have above-average temperatures, especially in the Southeast.
However, due to a decrease in solar activity and an anticipated arrival of a weaker El Nino system, the cold air that usually lingers in the north, will be forced out.
So, while there might not be reason to completely pack away the snow shovel this year in Georgia, the good news is the warmer and drier temperatures will make this winter a bit more bearable for many.
