Almanac Predicts Unusually Cold Winter

LEWISTON, Maine -- After one of the warmest winters on record, this coming winter will be much colder than normal from coast to coast, according to the latest edition of the venerable Farmers' Almanac.
The nearly 190-year-old almanac, which says its forecasts are accurate 80 percent to 85 percent of the time, correctly predicted a "polar coaster" of dramatic swings for last winter, editor Peter Geiger said. For example, New York City collected 40 inches of snow even though it was one of the warmest winters in the city's history.
This year, predicts the almanac's reclusive forecaster, Caleb Weatherbee, it will be frigid from the Gulf Coast all the way up the East Coast.
But it'll be especially nippy on the Northern Plains -- up to 20 degrees below seasonal norms in much of Montana, the Dakotas and part of Wyoming, he writes.
And, he says, it'll be especially snowy across the nation's midsection, much of the Pacific Northwest, the mountains of the Southwest and parts of eastern New England.
Last winter was the fifth-warmest on average in the lower 48 states. Forty-one states had temperatures above average, according to the National Climatic Data Center. That reduced energy demand by an estimated 11 percent, it said.
This year's retail edition of the Farmers' Almanac is the biggest ever, at 208 pages. It includes traditional charts on astronomy, average frost dates, and planting and gardening calendars. It also has the usual down-home features and cornball humor. |

You better believe, man. Down here in South of Brazil the winter is awful this year. Its the worst in many years, maybe decades, oh God, centuries?!
Seriously: all I know I cant stand any longer this fucking cold, rain, a bit of snow and also, the fucking wind.
See, my dog cant take a shit properly, I spent several minutes walking the dog and he cant poo because the wind. What you think I should do to solve the problem, walking the dog into a gymn? Fucking winter. I fucking dont know wehy he cant take a shit if is windy...
Now my hands are already freezing and about 9 pm I have to go to bed and sleep like a drunk bear cuz you cant get do anything, except stay under the coverlets like a clown wathing the fucking tele.
Then, tommorrow morning, you think the weather will be okay but no, its the same fucking shit and, again, here I go walking the dog, cuz he have to pee. Fuck!
