From the article:

But given that it claims to have an 80 percent accuracy rate and that its predictions about last year's brutal winter were pretty much spot-on, we're not going to take our chances.

We can be assured that whatever the regional weather is, the "Experts" will attribute it to Man-Made Global WarmingTM

It’s a blessing we can rely on the Farmer’s Almanac predictions, because our politically Left incompetents at the National Weather & Democrat Propaganda Service are too busy peddling global warming to do the job they are being paid for.

Usually, it seems the Farmer’s Almanac will state the obvious.

What brutal winter? Texas had about 8 minutes of winter last year. We need a winter to kill out the fleas and those Zika mosquitoes.

(FLASHBACK)

GLOBAL WARMING? Farmer’s Almanac Predicts Another Bitterly Cold Winter
August 18, 2015

Excerpt:

Farmer’s Almanac managing editor Sandi Duncan says no one will be immune to the rough weather this winter.

“Even the areas that we say are going to be like the bread of the ice-cold sandwich are going to have bouts of stormy conditions. There’s no way it’s going to be that mild of a winter,” she says.

La Nina is upon us. Sun spots are the lowest in a century. Cold follows such a double hit.

If you're in the Pacific Northwest, you can expect a lot of rain and chilly weather.

If that's the worst this winter has in store for us, it's sure not as bad as it could be. It would make for extremely icy roads, however. It's a very good time to be considering a good, wintertime AWD vehicle with traction control: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2015/09/survey-rates-suv-and-wagon-performance-in-snow/index.htm

I thought we were never going to have another winter. We weren’t even suppose to be alive from all the super hurricanes that would wipe out the eastern half of the USA. And no arctic ice. And polar bears would eat all the penguins...

The Northeast and Midwest can expect "colder than normal" temperatures and precipitation is supposed to be "above normal."

I have my partial solution in my garage:

The Farmers' Almanac will only state publicly that their method is a "top secret mathematical and astronomical formula, that relies on sunspot activity, tidal action, planetary position and many other factors." The Almanac's forecaster is referred to by the pseudonym Caleb Weatherbee.[1] According to the publishers, the true identity of the forecaster is kept secret to prevent him or her from being "badgered".[2] -

Publishers point to "many longtime Almanac followers claim that our forecasts are 80% to 85% accurate" on their website.[1] Professional meteorologists refute this pointing to historical results of below 50 percent accuracy rate. "The ability to predict events that far in advance is zero," according to Penn State meteorologist Paul Knight [3][4] Past American Meteorological Society president Dr. J. Marshall Shepherd has criticized the use of that space weather and sunspots as a weather forecasting tool noting this is "not common meteorological practice ."[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmers%27_Almanac#Weather_prediction
