MICHIGAN — The 2025–2026 Farmers’ Almanac is calling for a cold and snowy winter across Michigan. The publication forecasts what it describes as a “classic winter wonderland” for the Great Lakes region, with frequent snowstorms and prolonged wintry conditions.
According to the outlook, Michigan can expect two major cold outbreaks during the season. The first is predicted to arrive in mid-January, followed by another significant cold snap in mid-February.
The Almanac also warns that wintry weather, including cold and snow, could begin as early as September in some parts of the country, signaling the possibility of a long season.
The Farmers’ Almanac has been issuing extended weather forecasts since 1818, relying on a proprietary formula that considers solar activity, lunar motion, and other environmental factors.
While not always scientifically precise, the forecasts remain popular with readers looking for early guidance on seasonal weather. For Michigan, the latest prediction points to a winter filled with frigid temperatures and plenty of snow.
