Farmer’s Almanac Calling for Mild 2019 Winter in Central New York
Good news if you're not a fan of Winter in central New York. It looks like it's going to be a mild Winter this year.
The Farmer's Almanac is calling for a milder winter but it looks like we'll still see the snow. It won't be like Stella a few years ago with snow over our head, but it is Winter in CNY after all.
Winter will be milder than normal, with above-normal precipitation and near-normal snowfall.
Temperatures will be coldest from late December into mid-January. We'll see a bit of break before cold temperatures return late January into early February. Then there's another break before more frigid weather in mid- to late February.
The snow will be heaviest in early January, early to mid-February, mid-March, and early April. So basically, just another typical Winter in central New York.
After a snowy, cold Winter, we're going to have to wait awhile for Spring to arrive in central New York. April and May will be rainier than normal, with below-normal temperatures.
Summer temperatures and rainfall will be near normal, but it won't arrive until July when we'll have the hottest periods in late July and early to mid-August.
