The Old Farmer's Almanac has released its 2025-2026 Winter Forecast, describing the upcoming season as "mostly mild-with pockets of wild." Editor Carol Connare explains that "most areas will experience near-normal to slightly milder temperatures," with fewer harsh storms across much of the country. For Massachusetts homeowners, that translates to a calmer, lighter winter ahead-milder air, less snow, and easier travel conditions than the Bay State typically sees.
