In the U.S., prepare to shiver with below-normal winter temperatures from the Heartland westward to the Pacific and in the Desert Southwest, Pacific Southwest, and Hawaii but above normal winter temperatures elsewhere. The cold will continue through Valentine’s Day—providing the perfect excuse to stay indoors and snuggle! But be warned: Winter will not be over yet!

For some parts of the country, frigid and frosty conditions will last well into spring, bringing little relief to the winter-weary. “This could feel like the never-ending winter, particularly in the Midwest and east to the Ohio Valley and Appalachians, where wintery weather will last well into March and even through the first days of spring,” says Almanac editor Janice Stillman.

[...] In the U.S., this winter will be remembered for strong storms bringing a steady roofbeat of heavy rain and sleet, not to mention piles of snow. The 2020 Old Farmer’s Almanac is calling for frequent snow events—from flurries to no fewer than seven big snowstorms from coast to coast, including two in April for the Intermountain region west of the Rockies.

This snow-verload will include storms pummeling Washington state and points eastward across the northern-tier states into Michigan. For the normally rain-soaked Northwest, this could mean a repeat of last winter’s record-breaking extremes, including the Snowpocalypse that dumped 20.2 inches on Seattle in February.

    Entrails of late-born fowl, steeped in the blood of an unjustly executed man, mixed with eye of newt and toe of frog, and Trump administrations experts on Science!

    In response to the president’s request, Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, told Wilbur Ross, the commerce secretary, to have the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration publicly correct the forecasters, who had insisted that Alabama was not actually at risk from Hurricane Dorian.

    Poor sucking Wilbur, wanted to be a Billionaire, but failed. Got into the Trump administration, but that by itself is a fail. Wanted to ask American Citizens if they were really American Citizens, who could legally possess guns, and failed. So much failure, so little Ross. Almost FlynnBannonBoltonesque. Almost.

    Eds: Can't believe you have fallen for it yet again! Please, a little discernment? Or just accept nothing but aristarchus submissions, since you ability to discern is obviously on the fritz.

    Sir! It is rude to speak with your hand outside your cloak.

    Wilbur reminds me of Mr. Ed's other end.
