Back in September, the Farmer's Almanac released their winter forecast for Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin and labeled the region as a "hibernation-zone." They predicated brutal cold and above average snowfall. It was one of the wettest year's on record with lots of snow according to Bring Me The News, but I don't feel like it was colder than any other winter.

The Almanac claims to be right about 80% of the time with their long-range weather predictions and describes themselves as the "most trusted source for all things weather-related for 200 years." You can read what they're predicting for this summer below.

 

What Do You Think Of When You Think About Summer?

I think of my driveway. My neighborhood is full of young kids that race up and down the street on skateboards, bikes, and scooters and our driveway often turns into a destination for all of the parents to meet up for cold drinks while they keep an eye on their kids.

It's next level on our street too; families have hosted themed driveway parties like wine tastings, bloody mary buffets, and shrimp boils - we even booked a taco truck once.

 

A poll conducted by Survey Monkey found that most Americans think of the beach when they hear the word summer. Now, Minnesota isn't really known for its beaches, but we do have one of the best in the entire country that I highly recommend.

If you're dreaming about the beach or biking or concerts or whatever, you're no doubt hoping the weather will cooperate.

And if, sunny skies with a high of 72 is your idea of a perfect summer day, you're probably not going to like this long range forecast.
