For Nebraska homeowners, that means a warmer, quieter season overall-with light snow and shorter cold spells than usual. Nebraska falls within the Heartland region in the Old Farmer's Almanac forecast, which includes Omaha, but also metros in other states like Kansas City and St. Louis. The forecast calls for above-normal temperatures this winter, with the coldest periods likely in mid-December, early and late January.

The Old Farmer's Almanac has released its 2025-2026 Winter Forecast, calling the national outlook "mostly mild-with pockets of wild." Editor Carol Connare notes that "most areas will experience near-normal to slightly milder temperatures," though some regions-especially those along the eastern mountains-could still see brisk spells of cold. For Tennessee homeowners, this year's forecast brings good news: a generally warmer, drier winter with only brief cold snaps to contend with.
