'Farmer’s Almanac' Predicts “The Brr is Back” For Winter 2024–Especially For Texas

The rest of the South may be in for a very wet winter.

We are barely into pumpkin spice season and are all still recovering from another scorcher of a summer, but things are about to change. The Farmer’s Almanac is forecasting that we should all be aware that “the Brrr is back” for this upcoming winter. While the season officially begins December 21, meteorological winter actually begins on December 1. So get your warmest clothes ready to go because December could start out stormy and snowy for at least a few of the Southern states. The Almanac’s extended forecast predicts that Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas could see significant snowfall in December.

The experts behind the Almanac predict that Texans could face unseasonably cold January and February and could see a major winter storm in the middle of January. For the Southeast and Florida, while temperatures are expected to be average for winter in the region, the 205-year-old publication warns of a few frosts. That same portion of the South can also expect to have unseasonably cold temperatures in mid-February.

As for when the winter will end, the Almanac tells us, “March could go out like a lion, with stormy conditions nationwide.” But of course, storms mean rain and all of that rain will eventually yield spring flowers.

Now this is only a prediction, and time will only tell if the Almanac got it right. But best to prepare now. Stock up on your favorite winter warmers to have on hand after a day playing in the (maybe) snow! Get your hot cocoa, warm blankets, cozy socks and cue up your favorite movies. But also make sure you have prepared your home and have the essentials you'll need should your power go out to protect you and your family from the cold temperatures.
