Should New Yorkers Prepare For More Snow?
This past fall, in its "Winter 2025 Extended Weather Forecast," the Farmers' Almanac red-flagged a number of dates in late January, believing New Yorkers may deal with a massive snowstorm.
"We are 'red-flagging' the final week of January over most of the eastern half of the country because of a very active storm track that we expect will deliver frequent bouts of heavy precipitation, as well as strong and gusty winds," the Farmers' Almanac states.
Farmers' Almanac Is "Red Flagging" These Upcoming Dates
The Farmers' Almanac red-flagged "January 20 to 23," as well as January "24 to 27."
"We would especially highlight the time frames from January 20 to 23 and 24 to 27, which could mean copious amounts of snow, rain, sleet, and ice," the Farmers' Almanac adds
The Farmers' Almanac's fall prediction for a large snowstorm between January 20 to 23 rang true.
