It seems the Farmer's Almanac has been uncannily accurate over the years. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That said, we in the Pacific Northwest snow country should expect lots of snow like we usually have; we had none last winter.

It’s around 80% correct from what I have read.

IIRC, Joe Bastardi is saying that at least the eastern half of the US is going to be quite cold.

I will believe it when I see it. As far as Kalifornia is concerned, another year of drought and the state will be decimated, industry will leave, people will move, and the only ones left will be Moonbeam, the RATS in the legislature and the illegals. My heart bleeds as his Heinous Moonbeam is responsible.

Please let there be snow pack in the Sierras and snow in Nevada. We so desperately need it.

Snow in the northeast?? I thought palm trees will be there by 2016, according to some nutcase who said that is the late ‘80s.

I would trust it over all the climate change models. How about this; somebody does a study on the relative accuracy of the Farmer’s Almanac vs Climate Change Models?

I have noticed, when the NW Has lots of Snow, the East Coast gets less and visa versa.

Farmer’s Almanac always seems to be the most accurate away from the pacific ocean.

The pacific ocean is the main driver of our weather on the west coast, as soon as you go over the mountains the almanac seems to be always right. Right on the big picture, but wrong on our local weather phenomenons driven by the ocean.

Well, farmer’s almanac is based on recorded trends. How long it was to record the trends is worth reading more about. But previously recorded weather trends are not without merit in trying to anticipate future trends.

Snow cold ice. Not just this winter but for many winters to come. Decades of winters.
Prepare, people.

I glanced through one in the checkout line just a couple weeks ago and could swear that they were predicting a rather normal, uneventful winter for our parts. (The north east)

FWIW, I was in Concord that day.

I go by the number of fogs in August to knows the number of snows for the year. So far we have had two. But I am still buying a Snow blower.

I was watching one of the weather channels where I stopped for dinner on the way home tonight, apparently a pretty strong nor’easter is spinning up for the weekend, heavy snow down as far south as NW North Carolina on up into New England if the track holds.
