"Farmers' Almanac predicts colder-than-average winter" by Jerry Harkavy, Associated Press | August 25, 2008
LEWISTON, Maine - Households worried about the high cost of keeping warm this winter will draw little comfort from the Farmers' Almanac, which predicts below-average temperatures for most of the United States.
"Numb's the word," says the 192-year-old publication, which boasts an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent for its forecasts that are prepared two years in advance.
The almanac's 2009 edition, which goes on sale tomorow, says at least two-thirds of the country can expect colder-than-average temperatures, with only the Far West and Southeast in line for near-normal readings.
"This is going to be catastrophic for millions of people," said Peter Geiger, the almanac's editor, noting that the frigid forecast combined with high prices for heating fuel is sure to compound problems.
The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions should be getting an unusually wet or snowy February, the almanac said. The almanac predicts above-normal snowfall for the Great Lakes and Midwest, especially during January and February, and above-normal precipitation for the Southwest in December and for the Southeast in January and February.
In contrast, the usually wet Pacific Northwest could be a bit drier than normal in February.
The forecasts, which are spelled out in three- and four-day periods for each region, are prepared by the almanac's reclusive forecaster Caleb Weatherbee, who uses a secret formula based on sunspots, the position of the planets, and the tidal action of the moon.
Weatherbee's outlook is borne out by e-mail comments that the almanac has received in recent days from readers who have spotted signs of nature that point to a rough winter, Geiger said.
The signs range from an abundance of acorns already on the ground to the frequency of fog in August.
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, including Alaska, said Ed O'Lenic, chief of the operations branch at NOAA's Climate Prediction Center.
Geiger is confident, however, noting that 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.--more--"
So when the GOVERNMENT and NEWSPAPERS are hollering "global fart-misting, global fart-misting," you know they are LIARS, LIARS, LIARS, readers!
From the GROUND of MASSACHUSETTS, I testify to God that THIS LAST WINTER was RECORD-BREAKING in SNOW and COLD and THIS SUMMER has been a GOD-AWFUL RAIN OUT and COOLER than NORMAL -- and I have the GARDEN to PROVE IT!!!!
