According to the new Farmers’ Almanac Extended Winter Forecast, a cold, wet, windy winter is ahead for most locations across the country. A La Nina effect is likely to develop and hold on through the winter season as it cools the ocean’s surface in the central and eastern Pacific.

The experts at Farmers’ Almanac are warning us to brace for a “wet winter whirlwind,” and we know our wood pellets are one surefire solution to woeful weather. 

The coldest seasonal temps are likely at the end of January into early February thanks to the effects of frigid Arctic air, particularly in the Northern Plains. The cold air will also bring heavy, windy snow showers to the Great Lakes and areas to their east.

For our wood pellet stove proponents in the New England area and in the northeast, you’re looking at frequent storms, above-average winter precipitation, and temps that fluctuate between normal and above-average. Mountainous areas will see the most snow, so get your skis and boards ready, as well as ensuring you’ve got an ample supply of wood pellets to warm up after! Coastal areas will see sleet and rain, especially along the I-95 corridor.

Farmers Almanac forecasters have also red-flagged the end January for the entire eastern half of the US, because of “a very active storm track that we expect will deliver frequent bouts of heavy precipitation, as well as strong and gusty winds. We would especially highlight the time frames from January 20 to 23 and 24 to 27, which could mean copious amounts of snow, rain, sleet, and ice (depending on where you live).”

We’ve got an insider tip, though: if you want a quicker turnaround from order to delivery, look for these common signs that will let you know it’s time to place your order! You’ll be ready to fire up your stove as soon as Mother Nature hits you with that first nor’easter!

Summer Clearance Sales

When prices are getting slashed on summer staples like shorts, bathing suits, and beach gear, it’s time to start thinking about your order from woodpellets.com. Summer fun may still be going on, but this is a telltale sign that winter is coming!

Mums, gourds, rakes, and leaf-blowers

When autumnal staples are hitting shelves and decorating doorsteps, it’s time to get your heating pellets.

If rakes have replaced beach toys and your local grocery store has a tasteful display of gourds near the produce section, and mums are abound, that is a good sign that the cold is coming, and to order your fuel now.

Back-to-School Supplies 

Your local everything store has a huge rainbow-colored display of markers, pencils, paper, and other items back-to-schoolers can’t live without. Your kids groan each time they see it, and maybe you’re just a tad bit excited at the thought of having some routine back in your world. Even if the supplies aren’t on full display, they’re likely featured on ads filling your mailbox. When back to school looms, you definitely need to add (and then check off) ordering wood pellets to your list. 

Binge Worthy TV and Sports Are Back

Your favorite TV shows or series were on hiatus since the spring, but they’re coming back! Network TV is airing teasers about the upcoming episodes, and you’re thinking about screen time instead of outdoor time.

New professional and college football seasons are also upon us, and you can’t escape promotional commercials if you try.

Once your favorite fall shows have a premiere date, and you know what network will air your football team’s opening game, ordering fuel should be next on your to-do list. 

 Pumpkin Flavor

The ubiquitous fall flavor is back. Whether you love or hate pumpkin spice, it’s an excellent indicator that the weather is going to turn sooner than later. As soon as you see pumpkin spice everything at your favorite café or in grocery stores, you know the time has come for your annual pellet order.

We don’t offer pumpkin spice wood pellets, but may we suggest a pumpkin spice candle in a safe-to-light spot in your home?

 Of everything on your fall to-do list, ordering pellets might be the simplest. Order online, or call and speak to a fuel expert at 1-800-735-5387.

Cozy Clothes Weather

When the mornings and evenings greet you with a nip in the air, you might cringe as you hold onto the last vestiges of summer. But, if you can snuggle up in your favorite fleece pants and a sweater you haven’t seen since spring, we’ve got to be honey with you: it’s also wood pellet time. 

The kind of weather that makes you want to bundle up – even if midday conditions still call for shorts and tanks – is a harbinger of what’s to come, and a sign that you need to make sure you’re stocked and ready for winter.

Our call volume picks up as others notice the temps dipping and leaves changing, so get to the front of the line!
