The Old Farmer's Almanac Predicts a Warm and Dry Winter for Most Nebraska Homeowners

"For Nebraska homeowners, that means a warmer, quieter season overall-with light snow and shorter cold spells than usual. Nebraska falls within the Heartland region in the Old Farmer's Almanac forecast, which includes Omaha, but also metros in other states like Kansas City and St. Louis. The forecast calls for above-normal temperatures this winter, with the coldest periods likely in mid-December, early and late January."

"Precipitation will trend below normal statewide, suggesting a dry season with fewer storm systems crossing the Plains. Snowfall will be below normal in northern Nebraska and near normal in the southern part of the state. The snowiest stretches are expected in mid-November, late January, and early February. Altogether, the forecast points to a mild winter with a few chilly interruptions but little in the way of extended deep freezes."
