Natural Disaster Americans Fear Most Revealed In New Survey As Weather Anxiety Grows

Old Farmer's Almanac Unveils 2025-26 Winter Forecast
Winter’s first plot twist just dropped, and it points to very different scenes along the I-95 corridor and the nearby mountains. On Tuesday, Aug. 26, The Old Farmer’s Almanac released its 2025-26 US winter outlook, calling the season “mostly mild — with pockets of wild.” “Don’t lose track of your snow shovels and umbrellas,” editor Carol Connare said, noting much of the country leans near to slightly milder while the Appalachians skew colder. The outlook cites a fading La Niña shifting toward neutral, a recently peaked solar cycle, and the chance of a wobbly polar vortex to occasionally cr…
