If you're looking for relief from the snow, cold, and winter in general in New York State, this may be it. The Farmer's Almanac just dropped an interesting spring forecast.

If you were hoping for immediate relief, think again. The Farmers’ Almanac long range weather forecast says spring weather will take its time arriving, allowing winter conditions to linger, especially across the Midwest, Great Lakes, New England, and Northeast regions.

An unusually late winter storm brings a blanket of rain, sleet, and snow across the Atlantic Seaboard and mountainous areas in the Southeast during the first week of April."

They go on to say that in New York State, we can expect to see showers and thunder for most areas and temperatures will run somewhat coolish for the northern and central regions of the country into the month of June.

Overall, we see a cool and stormy season for most places of the United States. (Jump to Canada’s Spring 2025 Weather Forecast.) The exceptions will be in The Southeast and South Central states, where temperatures will be a bit warmer, but even areas in the Southwest will see a slow warm-up."

So to sum it up, here in New York we can expect spring to arrive somewhat late, and it will be filled with rain and cold. Just a reminder- we welcome spring on Thursday, March 20th 2025, at 5:01AM.
