Farmers’ Almanac Predicts Heavy Snow and Cold Weather for Canada This Winter
Hey, have you heard about the Farmers’ Almanac’s winter forecast for 2025-2026? It just came out, and there’s some pretty interesting news for anyone who loves winter, especially skiers and outdoor enthusiasts across Canada and the northern US. The Farmers’ Almanac, which has been predicting weather for over 200 years using its secret formula — a mix of mathematical calculations and sunspot activity — is calling for a winter filled with heavy snow, cold snaps, and some dramatic swings in weather.
Now, while these long-range forecasts aren’t perfect, the Almanac usually hits somewhere between 50 to 80 percent accuracy, which is pretty solid given how tough it is to predict winter weather months in advance. This year’s theme is basically “chill, snow, repeat,” meaning we can expect a lot of cold days followed by snowfalls, then maybe a little warming, and then back to cold again.

For Canada, this winter looks like it’s going to be quite the ride. Coastal British Columbia might see a fairly normal winter, with typical temperatures and precipitation levels. But things get more exciting in the prairie provinces like Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. These areas could see some serious winter conditions, including frequent whiteouts and blizzard-level storms. If you’re planning to hit the slopes, the SkiBig3 resorts could have an exceptional season with plenty of fresh powder to enjoy.
The forecast aligns with other weather predictions from NOAA and Open Snow, which also expect heavy snowfall in parts of the northern Rockies, the Midwest, and the Great Lakes regions. Meanwhile, southern areas of the US may see lighter snow, which could affect some ski resorts there. But in Canada, especially the northern plains and the eastern provinces, there’s a strong chance of a classic, old-school winter — cold and snowy, sticking around well into March or even April in some places.
Interestingly, the Almanac mentions that while last year’s winter was brutally cold and snowy in some regions, this upcoming season might not be quite as extreme, but it’ll still bring plenty of winter weather to keep everyone on their toes. Early cold snaps could sneak in by late fall in northern areas, and New Year’s is expected to kick off with chilly, breezy weather in many regions. Snowstorms are predicted around mid-January and again in February, especially in eastern Canada and the northern US.
So, if you live in Canada or the northern US and you’re a fan of snowy winters, this forecast is probably good news. But just a heads-up — long-range forecasts are always a bit of a gamble. Weather can change rapidly, especially in the mountains. Still, it looks like a winter full of snow and cold is shaping up, and that’s something many winter lovers will be excited about.
