The Almanac says this winter is expected to start earlier than last year's and December could be stormy and cold nationwide.
The Maine-based publication predicts January will be particularly chilly here in the northeast.
"We're saying that this winter is going to be shake, shiver, and shovel. So there will be a little bit of everything," said Peter Geiger, an editor at the Farmer's Almanac. "Overall, I think the winter is going to be probably average amount of snowfall. I think it's going to be cold, particularly the months of January and early February."
