Farmer's Almanac Predicts 'Super-Cold' Winter, More Snow In Eastern U.S.
Huff Post ^ | August 20, 2014 | Rik Stevens

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.

Last winter here in NE Indiana was a bear.
And I read on a thread the other day that Farmers almanac is calling for an even colder winter this year.
The global warming scarecrows were smart to change their name to climate change: cold, colder, coldest.
I wonder if they ever tire of being wrong.

They renamed global warming to climate change to cover these occurrences.

Alas, it looks like you may have to move. Here is a link on 8 inches of snow in South Dakota, earliest in 120 years, and the last one was less than an inch. Is this catastrophism?

People in my part of NC have been worried about a bad winter coming. We had a late winter with a lot of snow and ice going into March, followed by an unusually cool summer. My heat kicked on a couple of times overnight in July, for instance. I can’t recall that ever happening. Then, there are the old folk’s “signs.” Wild blackberries barely bore fruit. Mast is heavy, acorns falling around my house sound like a woodpecker got hold of the gutters when the wind blows, lol. Squirrels are fat and busy. Haven’t seen a wooly worm yet.

It’s not catastrophism. Last winter we got snow, more at the beginning of the winter, but the temps were ridiculously low for months on end, so none of it melted, it just settled in and headed toward ice. Lake Michigan froze over, which isn’t unusual, but it was such a hard freeze and lasted so long that the more foolhardy *might* have been able to hike across to Wisconsin. That would not be me, btw. The ice was thick such that it was possible to wander on out past the end of the pier in Grand Haven (assuming one veered away from where the river was invisibly passing underneath; one future laureate went out onto the river in Holland to get a nice photo of the lighthouse, got the shot, fell through, survived), something I didn’t do (it was just miserably cold and windy that day) but literally hundreds did. I heard that people had taken tables and chairs out there and were eating and having wine.

We hit 32.9 degrees here in our little town in NW Iowa this morning.
