What will winter in Greater Gardner MA look like this year?

It’s not expected to be a big storm, but this week could see the first snowflakes of the 2022 to 2023 winter season, or it could just be a rain event. Just what will this winter look like? According to AccuWeather, “it will shape up much differently that last winter in part due to a volcano that erupted on the other side of the globe.” And this is the third year in a row that La Nina will affect weather patterns with meteorologist Paul Pastelok stating, “The weather setup will be one of the most complicated and dynamic in recent memory due to all of the weather factors in play over the upcoming months.” Accuweather is predicting the amount of snowfall could be above normal, going so far as to predict nor’easters in January and March.
