If Farmer's Almanac is right, Illinois could be in for a very interesting Spring as the time around Easter is predicted to be nice, but the rest of the season will be 'unsettled'.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over this if I were you (yet), but Illinois is being warned to brace itself for a major winter storm that is allegedly coming for one specific week in January of 2025.
Hold on a second. I need to catch my breath from laughing (or was that crying?) after I just saw that Farmer's Almanac is predicting snow for Illinois. Yes, I checked. It's still August. What the?
