Wet and cold. That's the Farmers' Almanac prediction for for the 2024-25 winter.

The same week Pumpkin Spice hits the shelves and nighttime adventures require a light jacket, the Farmers' Almanac hits us with Winter weather predictions.

The Forecast

According to this year's Almanac, Winter throughout the Northeast and New England will be stormy with "above-normal amounts of winter precipitation and near-to above-normal temperatures."

Mountainous areas will get the most snow. While the I-95 corridor will see more sleet and rain.

When Will It Hit?

December 21st is the astronomical start of winter aka the winter solstice. But the coldest outbreaks are expected at the end of January into the beginning of February. That's when the Almanac predicts that the Artic air will bring "a sharp plunge in temperatures almost nationwide."

Important Winter Dates

WMMR has a slew dates for you to add to your calendar this Fall / Winter. First up, the MMRBQ is exactly one month away on September 21st. Preston & Steve's Camp Out For Hunger is set for December 2nd - 6th. The last date we is not officially set yet, but signs are pointing to Preston & Steve's Cardboard Classic happening the last week of February.

WMMR Logos Through the Years, 1968 to Now

Today (August 20th) is National Radio Day. WMMR is grateful to everyone who's been a part of this radio station in Phiiiil-aaaa-delphia since 1968: DJs, staffers, the artists we play, and of course, our listener family.

We're taking a closer look at those four letters today: W. M. M. R. Everything that rocks. You've heard it many times, but what has it looked like over the years?

Find out by scrolling through the gallery below. You'll see the evolution from the Metromedia days of the late '60s to a Barbie-pink moment in the '90s, plus our classic '80s lettering and our current look. (And if you like what you see, you can always grab the newest looks and retro merch in the MMR Rock Shop.)

You can listen to MMR anytime, anywhere - not just on National Radio Day, and no just on your old boombox! Use the free MMR App, ask your smart speaker to "Open MMR," or stream the rock right here on WMMR.com.
