Has anyone ever done a study to compare the accuracy of the Old Farmer’s with the National Weather Service?

“A study found that The Old Farmer’s Almanac was only 50.7% accurate on monthly temperatures and 51.9% accurate on precipitation forecasts. This is comparable to flipping a coin. The accuracy rate claimed by the Almanac is 80%, but this has not been consistently proven.”
