The new edition of the Farmers’ Almanac predicts a chilling  winter is ahead for Iowa and the rest of the Midwest. Sandi Duncan, the publication’s managing editor, says they’re calling for above-normal snowfall and below-normal temperatures.

The Almanac is forecasting what it calls a “memorable” storm that will produce “hefty snows” for the region between January 20th and 23rd, followed by bitter cold as low as 40-below zero.

The Almanac is also predicting essentially a repeat of this past Spring’s less than ideal weather for next spring as well.
