The guys who get it right year after year or some lying government mouthpiece known as the MSM?
FLASHBACKS:
"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."
"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)."
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....
I'm NO LONGER SURPRISED by Boston Globe omissions.
Heck, I EXPECT THEM now!

"Hot weather has Mass. farms booming; A welcome rebound from cold, wet 2009" by David Abel, Globe Staff | August 18, 2010
At the Plainville Farm in Hadley, the pumpkins are bulging, nearly ripe about a month ahead of normal. The Red Fire Farm in Granby has had a bumper crop of melons, most ready for picking at least two weeks before usual. In Brookline, the Allandale Farm has had trouble keeping up with a growth spurt of tomatoes.
A year after a cold, wet summer caused massive and expensive agricultural losses — and prompted federal officials to declare most of Massachusetts a disaster zone — the state’s nearly 8,000 farms are experiencing a boom, with exactly the opposite weather conditions of last year....

"Winter forecast will not warm hearts in New England; But almanac sees reprieve for many in US" by David Sharp, Associated Press | August 30, 2010
LEWISTON, Maine — After record snowfall in the mid-Atlantic and unusually cold weather down South, the Farmers’ Almanac is predicting a “kinder and gentler’’ winter. But the publication’s secret mathematical formula does not predict a more bearable season for New Englanders.
It will still be colder than normal for much of the country, the almanac says, including the area that is home to the publication.
New England will get a “cold slap in the face’’ after missing last winter’s misery. Residents of the upper Midwest and Great Lakes are expected to get the piles of snow that may be lacking elsewhere.
After eyeing the skies, tidal action, and sunspots, the folks at the 194-year-old publication say in their 2011 edition going on sale today that it will be cold but nothing like last winter, when 49 states saw snow and it got so cold in Florida that iguanas fell out of trees....
Really?
The MSM thinks you have forgotten, readers!!

Yup, BELIEVE IT or NOT it was the FIFTH-WARMEST WINTER on RECORD!
They TRULY THINK we are FOOLS!
Are you TIRED of the MSM LIES yet?!!
Ed O’Lenic from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center said the scientific community does not accept tides, planetary alignment, and sunspots as effective predictors of temperature or precipitation, but he stopped short of calling the almanac’s meteorological methods a bunch of hooey.
“In science you have to have an open mind,’’ O’Lenic, chief of the operations branch, said of the almanac’s methodology. “Someday, someone could conceivably find some scintilla of evidence that it’s useful.
Tell that to your HIDE the DECLINE fellows at the IPCC and CPU!!!!
And maybe SOMEDAY SOMEONE will find a USE for LYING, LOOTING GOVERNMENTS (although I doubt it)!!
“For the time being, we have to stick with what produces results for us.’’
Even if they are a CROCK of LIES!!

Looks like you better BUY an ALMANAC this year, NOAA -- seeing as you are WRONG year after year!!!
What a CROWD of -- forgive me, readers -- FUCKING LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the record, the Climate Prediction Center anticipates a warmer-than-normal winter for the mid-Atlantic and Southeast and colder-than-normal weather in the Northwest. That puts it at odds with the almanac, which calls for mild temperatures in the Northwest and cold in the Southeast.
Well, PAST HISTORY WOULD SUGGEST the ALMANAC is RIGHT and the GOVERNMENT is LYING AGAIN!!!
The Maine-based Farmers’ Almanac is not to be confused with the New Hampshire-based Old Farmer’s Almanac. Both issue annual forecasts, with The Old Farmer’s Almanac scheduled for release Sept. 7....
I can not imagine that the forecasts will be much different, Globe.
You are hoping though, aren't you?
The old-school almanac is big on nostalgia, but is not shy about using technology.
Yeah, hurl ANOTHER INSULT at them, Globe.
Who wrote this PoS anyway?
And as far as nostalgia goes, maybe we could STOP SEEING so many NAZI STORIES in the NEWSPAPER, huh?
Its website gets more than 4 million visitors a year....
But their methods of predicting.... right, but in the dark ages (as opposed to the ENLIGHTENED LIARS of the U.S. GOVERNMENT and MSM)!
You know, I WISH the GOVERNMENT WASN'T LYING because I AM SICK of SHOVELING SNOW in the FREEZING COLD every year.

"The early colors result from a lack of moisture to help them stay green. Shorter days in fall and cold nights also facilitate the loss of green pigment, chlorophyll, helping to bring out yellow and red. Warm, sunny days with no extended periods of rain is probably the reason some colors are peeking through.
Probably?
Pfffffft!
