The Farmers' Almanac recently issued their outlook for the 2011-2012 winter season and are predicting a wet and wild winter for much of the nation. According to their forecasters, the Farmers' Almanac is predicting a season of "crime and punishment" with lots of unusually cold and stormy conditions.
In the northern Plains, northern Rockies, and western Great Lakes, folks can expect frigid cold temperatures while those in the southern and eastern United States will experience above average temperatures. Near normal temperatures are predicted for the Midwest and far western parts of the country.

Don't you know it! Enough with the baking already.
Have friends in Conroe who swear they had a thin layer of ice on the water in the bird bath last week. Just really strange. We sure could use some rain.
Here in La Quinta, it was low 50’s this morning but just east in Thermal it was 37.....they’re quite a bit below sea level and the coolness ‘drains’ downward.
That temp is at an elevation of about 900 feet above sea level. The forecast has now changed to 42 F Saturday morning. Still too early for that temp. We usually get that low occasionally in December-February.
Thank goodness we've had a few rainy days since the temps fell off. We sure did need it.
Let's hope this almanac prediction holds. Texas could use a good long soaking.
