The Old Farmer's Almanac has been accurate

The Old Farmer's Almanac was once the second publication after the Bible that many in Southwest Virginia had faith in. The accuracy of predictions about planting crops and weather forecasts was amazing.

Today, instead of reading pages in the almanac booklet, you have the option of regional 60-day forecasts for Virginia online. There has also been a long-range prediction for the entire winter season 2024.

Virginians should brace themselves

Jack and Kitty say SWVA residents should brace themselves for winter 2024, not for treacherous weather but for a mild season. This will be good news for those who desire to save money on heating costs and who don't want to be snowed in.

However, Virginians who look forward to and enjoy the cold freezing temperatures might be out of luck if the prediction of a mild winter turns out to be accurate.
