SPOKANE, WA – Spokane residents, prepare to dust off those snow shovels! The Old Farmer’s Almanac has dropped its winter forecast, and this year, Spokane is in for a treat—or maybe a few surprises. While some regions across the U.S. might experience drier conditions, Washington’s eastern side is gearing up for a snowier-than-usual season.

What’s Behind the Forecast?

Unlike your daily weather update, the Old Farmer’s Almanac dives deep, predicting seasonal patterns by analyzing historical trends and natural climate cycles. They don’t pinpoint exact days of winter storms, but instead, rely on large-scale weather influences to give us a glimpse into the season’s likely mood.

How the Almanac Sees the Future

The Almanac’s forecasting method is a mix of old-school techniques and advanced science, covering three main areas:

  • Solar Science – Observing solar activity, including sunspots.
  • Climatology – Reviewing weather trends over time.
  • Meteorology – Studying atmospheric data for signs of what’s to come.

Their long-range predictions draw on solar data and weather records spanning 1991 to 2020, making for a time-tested approach.

Snowy Months Ahead!

For Spokane’s snow lovers, there’s good news: snowfall is expected to be above average! Anticipate snowy scenes around mid-November, early January, late January, and mid-March. Whether you’re hitting the slopes or just enjoying a winter wonderland, these are the times to keep your mittens handy.

Will It Be a Cold Winter?

Though snow is on the forecast, don’t expect bone-chilling cold. In fact, temperatures this winter may actually be a touch above average. That said, keep an eye out for those colder snaps in late November and late January—perfect for cozy fireside nights but overall not a season to fear.

What’s Fueling This Forecast?

The Sun is currently at a high in its Solar Cycle 25, meaning solar activity is buzzing. Although solar peaks once indicated warmer winters, that connection is less predictable today. The Almanac also monitors ocean and atmospheric shifts, such as El Niño and La Niña, which can influence weather patterns. This year, conditions are expected to lean toward a La Niña phase, affecting snowfall and temperature patterns in the Pacific Northwest.

Spokane’s Winter Outlook

With snowy stretches ahead and fairly mild temperatures, Spokane might be in for a picturesque winter. Mark those key snow days, get your winter gear ready, and let’s look forward to a snowy season filled with Spokane’s winter charm!
