While we’re used to experiencing all four seasons in a day, we all know the best way to survive winter in Pennsylvania is to expect the unexpected. We might wake up to a balmy morning that tricks us into thinking spring has arrived only to get a few inches of snow by evening. Knowing what to expect is the best way to prepare for winter in Pennsylvania. The Farmer's Almanac Winter Forecast for Pennsylvania for 2024-25 has been released, and it looks like Pennsylvania’s in for a little bit of everything. But what you'll see depends on where in the state you live.
Hodge-podge might best describe what we can expect for the upcoming winter. The Farmer's Almanac winter forecast for Pennsylvania boils down to where you live. If you're in Philly and the eastern part of the state, you're looking at higher-than-usual temperatures and less snow than normal. February, if predictions prove true, will be the coldest month of the season with an average daily temperature of 33 degrees Fahrenheit. Central Pennsylvania will also see slightly higher than usual temperatures with the coldest month, February, averaging 27 degrees Fahrenheit and normal snowfall throughout the season.
That leaves Western PA. Unlike the rest of the state, we're going to deal with lower-than-usual temperatures. The Farmer's Almanac winter forecast for Western Pennsylvania predicts the coldest part of winter will run from the end of January until early February. January will have the lowest daily average temperature at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
