Super cold, slew of snow in Old Farmer's Almanac forecast

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Just when you thought you had gotten over last winter, be warned: The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts it will be super cold with a slew of snow for much of the country, even in places that don't usually see too much of it, like the Pacific Northwest.

If you don't want to read about those four-letter words, there's plenty more to peruse in the folksy, annual book of household tips, trends, recipes and articles, such as animal jealousy, the history of shoes and anticipation for the biggest Supermoon in decades in November 2016.

and the fuzzy bears

You gotta be older than dirt! I remember a fuzzy bear from my youth and that was that was just past the mid point of the last century.

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.

Well, farmer’s almanac is based on....

As you probably know there are two Farmer's Almanacs. The Old Farmer's Almanac (since 1792) and the Farmer's Almanac (1818).
They both predict regional weather patterns based on, to one degree or another, sunspot activity, tidal action, planetary position, the Milankovitch cycle and other astronomy cycles, global decadal weather patterns and other factors.
These predictions aren't based on recent observed weather activity but rather on global, lunar and celestial events that reoccur on cycles of varying lengths. When these cycles "line up", so to speak, as is happening now the effects to the earth's climate can be quite severe.
In this case the effect is significant global cooling for a protracted period of time.

Every 12 years we get this

The California rains will come courtesy of El Nino this winter. The last super El Nino was 1997. That season had big rains. The last big winter rain for CA was 2004-2005 (also El Nino but a small one).

Looks like glaciers now forming in the Scottish mountains.

Just like the Little Ice Age.

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.

Wow, you're holding me to account 6 months later? :-)

Well, the prediction certainly worked here in E. Washington state, snow and then more snow.

Let's all mock Al Gore, per usual!
