It's no secret that 2018 has been an odd year for weather. We had a record hot summer and now winter is following a hurricane season that sent two hurricanes to Hawaii and a near category 5 storm growing out of control unexpectedly in October and demolishing so much in its path, we are left to wonder what winter might bring with all the extreme weather we’ve been having. How can your business be ready to face the storms when we have to expect the unexpected.

Winter forecast

Just like summer, this winter is forecasted to be warmer than usual. The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which uses different factors than NOAA to calculate probabilities, also predicted a similar outlook for the winter season of 2018 to 2019. With both predictions in agreement, many people have already let their guard down and are not adequately preparing for severe winter weather.

Current weather

It is early November and a lot of the country has already been experiencing a cold, wet, and snowy “fall”. Fall seems like a season that has been skipped all together. Even cities in southeast states have unexpectedly seen temperatures lower than expected for this time of year.

Expect the unexpected

Even with current winter like conditions, it is expected that November and December will be on the mild side of winter weather. That being said, it is important that you protect your business and prepare for the winter you may not expect, especially with all of the unpredictable weather we’ve experienced lately.
