Colder than what?? Warmer than what??
Cold wet heavy precipitation in the North
Warm and dry in the south.
The demarcation line across the middle of the country will be volatile.
Time will tell, as always :)
I’m in the NC mountains. Looks like our linemen can count on plenty of overtime coming up.
I think I read that the farmer’s almanac is about 80% accurate. I used to get one every year for my BIL for Christmas.
I keep seeing Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan as dry for this summer. I see it spotty as hell and that will only be exposed in the zip code by zip code bean yields.
As someone in the lake effect snow belt, any prediction is incorrect....we will get nailed by storms, we will get missed by storms, but it will snow and the entire regions aquifers will be topped up on April 1.
Another dry winter for Texas, great, just what we needed...
Has anyone ever done a study to compare the accuracy of the Old Farmer’s with the National Weather Service?
I’m using the “fat squirrel” methodology.
Last year the squirrel’s were kinda scrawny at this time, and we had a very poor winter.
This year they are nice and plumped up, so looking at a big winter. Earlier also.
As a resident of Washington State, pretty much every winter here is wet. I believe that November is our wettest month.
Right now, we are having a very dry period of weather. We have a large wildfire going on and they could really use some rain.
