The Old Farmer's Almanac, the familiar, 223-year-old chronicler of climate, folksy advice and fun facts, is predicting a colder winter and warmer summer for much of the nation.
Published Wednesday, the New Hampshire-based almanac predicts a "super-cold" winter in the eastern two-thirds of the country. The west will remain a little bit warmer than normal.
"Colder is just almost too familiar a term," Editor Janice Stillman said. "Think of it as a refriger-nation."
More bad news for those who can't stand snow: Most of the Northeast is expected to get more snowfall than normal, though it will be below normal in New England.

I was from Grand Forks. As much as I like my old home town, I left, primarily because of the cold weather.
Oh no.. snow in the Winter...let’s panic!!
What happens with more snow.
Easy to get power

go west young man (and though not young I just might)
You’re giving me flashbacks, cripple. Bad flashbacks, not the good ones about your first kiss, or getting your drivers license. Bad Flashbacks...

Good thing I just moved to Arizona!
In southeastern Michigan the last time we got this much snow the president was, (wait for it) Ulysses S. Grant. There were several days in January where we were colder than Fairbanks, Alaska. Do you know how many dead deer were found when the snow melted? In my area alone, hundreds. Several houses burned down because when the firefighters tried to turn on the fire hydrants they were frozen solid. That is the kind of winter that southeastern Michgan had.

“Based on the Farmers Almanac! Bring it!! I wanna see 10 feet of snow!”
BITE YOUR TOUNGE! I don’t want to see that here in NH. Bad enough that it is going to be a super cold winter (I’ll probably go through 7 cords this winter), I’ll be bringing in wood every other day to keep the stove going.
Didn’t we have a global warming slowdown some 10,00 years ago?
Make sure he cuts down already dead trees. There won’t be enough time for green wood to dry out before winter, and green wood smokes and causes dangerous creosote buildup in chimneys.
Hell, Obama and his Global Warming clowns have been giving us a super-snow-job since he got elected. SO what’s new?
I’m with you. Bring it on!!!!!
Oh well.. there goes “Recovery Summer 6.0” right down the toilet when the “cold weather” forces the economy to contract in Q4 2014 and Q1 2015. This is huge and series.
AGW hiding in the Atlantic. Idiots
You would think these global warming lunatics played hide and go seek in their childhood.
Unfortunately they were not taught much more than how to steal money from people dumber than themselves.
“And this prediction is based on...what?’
Probably observable climate cycles. The link between climate and sun spots has been known for centuries for instance.
Brrrrrrr
Global economic indicators. Crow migrations, drop calves and all ant populations.
Sure, “bring it”— if you are putting on the Sierra Nevada range. Will California ever have a year of adequate rain again?
I think it's too early for the wooley worms to have spoken.
