The Farmers’ Almanac just dropped its 2025/2026 winter outlook, and let’s just say: Your pellet stove is about to become your best friend!

This year’s forecast paints a picture of a true Northeast winter—plenty of cold snaps, a steady run of storms and precipitation in just about every form Mother Nature can throw at us. From fluffy snow to icy mix, it looks like the season will keep us busy from start to finish.

The theme this year? Chill, Snow, Repeat.

Here’s what to expect:

❄️ Frequent snowstorms across New England—perfect for snow-day cocoa, not so perfect for your driveway.

❄️ Mid-January deep freeze—a serious cold snap that’ll have you cranking the stove to high.

❄️ Another round of arctic chills in mid-February, just when you thought spring was peeking around the corner.

❄️ Along the coast, expect a messy mix of rain, snow, sleet and ice, depending on the storm track (Mother Nature can’t make up her mind).

Pellet Prep Tip: Stock up early! Mid-winter is looking like prime “burn through the hopper” territory. Ordering ahead means no scrambling when the forecast turns frosty.

Dust off those snow shovels, check your stove and get ready—the Farmers’ Almanac says this winter’s going to keep us on our toes. Luckily, nothing beats the steady, cozy heat of wood pellets when the temperature takes a dive.
