Bundle up because we could be in for a cold, snowy winter this year, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac's forecast.

Managing editor Jack Burnett said we can expect a number of storms through the prairies.

"This winter we are looking at what we are calling a "snow train" which is our term for a succession of storms that we see chugging along through the prairies and through Saskatchewan."

He said the eastern part of the province will have a warmer winter, while areas such as Moose Jaw can expect a colder than normal winter.

Burnett outlined when the coldest days could be.

"We're looking at the really cold parts to be most of December, almost all of December except the third week and then also the end of January and the end of February."

The good news is the cold weather shouldn't linger into March.

Most of the snow will fall at the end of December, mid-February and the end of February into March.

Burnett said this fall will see some snow in October, but nothing major until the end of November or beginning of December.

When it comes to spring and summer of 2021, the almanac is predicting it to once again be wet. Moose Jaw is sitting right on the border between an average summer and scorching hot temperatures. Burnett said what we will likely see is the warm days will be exceptionally hot.
