"Farmers’ Almanac foresees tough winter
Americans may want to check on their sweaters and snow shovels - the Farmers’ Almanac is predicting a cold winter. The 2010 edition of the venerable almanac goes on sale today. It predicts numbing cold from the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachians. Managing editor Sandi Duncan says that nationwide, the season will be an “ice cold sandwich,’’ with milder weather on the coasts. The Maine-based almanac issues forecasts based on sunspots, planetary positions, and the effects of the moon. The National Weather Service is calling for a warmer-than-normal winter because of an El Niño weather system that has developed in the Pacific Ocean (AP)."
And WHAT does the RECORD SAY?
What is sad is my LOCAL picked up the WHOLE PIECE and LOOKEE at what the Glob missed:
"The 2009 edition accurately predicted last winter's cold conditions and the extreme rains that the Northeast got in June and July....
--more--"
Yeah, about last winter:
"The almanac's winter forecast is at odds with that of the National Weather Service, whose trends-based outlook calls for warmer-than-normal temperatures over much of the country.... the almanac was on target in the 2008 edition when it called for the Northeast and the Great Lakes to be hit with a long, cold winter with lots of snow."
"The Old Farmer's Almanac, based in Dublin, N.H., predicted "global cooling" for the next two decades. The forecast was based on an expected change in sunspots and ocean temperatures, still better-understood factors than climate change, said the almanac's editor, Janice Stillman."We're looking forward to cooler-than-normal conditions for quite some time," Stillman said in a telephone interview."
Oh, it is a SAD DAY for a LYING GOVERNMENT and AGENDA-PUSHING PAPERS!
Prepare for ANOTHER LONG, COLD WINTER, Bay Staters -- regardless of the wars, rumors of wars, and swine flu scare!
