Trying something new in posting something directly from the Hugo.Brenich.com Raspberry Pi’s Markdown post. Curious as to how WordPress does or doesn’t handle the image and text. If the Raspberry Pi goes down, the “map” image likely will be missing below.
It is interesting to at least check out the map published by The Old Farmer’s Almanac for the upcoming 2025-2026 Winter.
Mostly Mild—with Pockets of Wild!
That’s the big picture: most of the United States can expect a typical or slightly milder winter—but some regions should brace for a sharper chill.
“Don’t lose track of your snow shovels and umbrellas,” says Editor Carol Connare. “Most areas will experience near-normal to slightly milder temperatures, but from the Appalachians south through the Southeast and Florida, and westward across the Ohio Valley, we’re predicting a colder-than-normal winter.”
Forecast highlights across the continental U.S.:
- Temperatures: Near normal to slightly milder across much of the country—except in the Appalachians, Southeast, Florida, and the Ohio Valley, where colder-than-average conditions are forecasted.
- Precipitation: Overall, drier than usual overall, with extended dry stretches likely. However, Florida, the Intermountain region, and the eastern Desert Southwest may see above-average precipitation.
- Snowfall: Near or below normal for most areas. However, greater amounts of snow are expected in much of the Carolinas, southern Appalachians, eastern Ohio Valley, southern Rockies, and eastern Desert Southwest.
Remember: “Mild” is relative. It’s still winter—so plan (and dress!) accordingly. And if you’re in a snow-prone area, don’t retire that shovel just yet.
