Get your winter coats ready as the Old Farmer's Almanac Weather Forecast 2022-2023 predicts New York will have a cold winter season. Silive.

Old Farmer's Almanac explained that this season will be "a tale of two winters". It will divide the country into two parts: in one there will be a mild winter, in the other - severe frosts.

“Depending on where you live, this will either be the best winter or memorable for other reasons,” said Janice Stillman, editor of the Old Farmer's Almanac. “One half of the country will face freezing cold and lots of snow, while the other half may feel like winter will never come.”

The eastern half of the United States must prepare for record cold weather. Snowfall will be heavier than usual from central New England to northern North Carolina, including the New York area. Low temperatures will result in above-average snowfall in most areas of the eastern United States.

“Winter temperatures will be below normal while rainfall and snowfall will exceed them,” Almanach says.

The coldest periods will be in early December, early and late January, and most of February

The editors of Old Farmer's Almanac denied the use of computer satellite tracking equipment, weather knowledge, or groundhogs. It is the oldest almanac in the country. It started in 1792 when George Washington was president.

Other almanacs existed at the time this almanac was first published by Robert B. Thomas in Massachusetts in 1792. But it survived and became the oldest continuously published periodical in North America.

Traditionally, Old Farmer's Almanac uses three scientific disciplines to make long-range forecasts: solar science, climatology, and meteorology. It compares solar patterns and historical weather patterns with current solar activity to predict weather trends and events.

Temperatures will be low this winter season. Winter is expected to be rainy, especially for the eastern half of the country. There will be snow in some areas, but more slush and porridge in others.

The almanac's prediction rules were developed by its first editor, David Young. They have been slightly modified and turned into a formula that is both mathematical and astronomical. It takes into account the activity of sunspots, the tidal action of the moon, the position of the planets, and other factors.

Both almanacs are similar in their predictions. The Farmers' Almanac was founded in 1818, while the Old Farmer's Almanac has been around since 1792.
