Get ready for a “Polar Coaster” this winter.
That’s what the 2020 Farmers’ Almanac is calling next winter, predicting yet another freezing, frigid, and frosty winter for two-thirds of the country, including the midwest, with above-average precipitation expected.
The coldest outbreak of the season is predicted for the final week of January through the beginning of February, with temperatures possibly hitting 40-below-zero across the northern plains.
The Almanac is also predicting another slow start to spring, with winter hanging on into April for most of the country.
