Hey, Siri! Help book me a trip somewhere warm in the final week of January.

If the latest Farmers’ Almanac prediction is true, you might want to put your toes in the sand after Christmas. The coming winter will be wet and cold in most places, according to the almanac’s outlook.

The Farmers’ Almanac has been making long-range weather forecasts for more than 200 years.

According to its latest outlook, released Tuesday, you should prepare yourself for the “Wet, Winter, Whirlwind” ahead. Its annual extended weather prediction calls for a season of rapid-fire storms that will bring both rain and snow.

Let them shiver and freeze in the dark.

Soooo,
Ya all Yankees come on down to Florida and spend your money for the winter then go the hell back from where ya came…
Ya all know the routine.
Come on down. Drive slow. Tip poorly.
And constantly tell every damn body how f-ing great is up in N.J., N.Y.,Michigan,etc.

I don’t want it to be cold in the Northeast this winter. I want it to be warm and balmy, like Florida.

They said the same thing last year and they were just as wrong as the year before.

Serious cold is definitely missing in most of New England.

Here in northern Massachusetts, we haven’t had “good” ice on the ponds (i.e.safe enough to walk across) in five years. I enjoy ice fishing but I’m not a daredevil. If the ice isn’t six inches thick or more (more is always better) then I’m looking out the window.

Snowfall amounts vary from year to year, with or without the cold.
