And this week, the almanac delivered its verdict for Minnesota’s coming winter: frigid and snowy, with a polar blast in late January that will send temperatures plunging to minus 40 degrees.
“We believe it’s your part of the country that’s going to get the worst of the worst,” said Peter Geiger, editor of the almanac, which has been issuing forecasts for 203 years. “We’re saying it’s going to be frigid temperatures for most of the northern plains into the Great Lakes.”
Our area, he added, will be whipsawed by what the almanac called a “polar coaster” of freezing temperatures plus heavier-than-usual rain, sleet and snow.
Oh, and as if that weren’t enough pain: The almanac predicts a late spring, too.
