It might seem early to start thinking about snow, but the northeast might see its first snow by mid to late October, the Farmers’ Almanac predicts.
In its extended fall forecast, the Farmers’ Almanac called the upcoming season a “flirty, flurry fall.” The almanac noted that the northeast, including Rhode Island, should see storms roll in and the temperature drop as autumn goes on.
Snow will be a “regular visitor” across much of the north this fall, the Farmers’ Almanac said.
However, this fall is expected to bring “a little bit of everything,” the almanac said, so New Englanders are encouraged to keep an eye on the weather.
