"Farmers' Almanac" predicts a "bitterly cold" winter

[JPGhost]

The Farmers' Almanac is using words like "piercing cold," "bitterly cold" and "biting cold" to describe the upcoming winter. And if its predictions are right, the first outdoor Super Bowl in years will be a messy "Storm Bowl."

I don't mind the cold too much as long as it's not accompanied by snow/ice.

I can't wait to make obscene snowmen!

*squeals with delight*

You could hang your banjo on one.

I think it's crazy to have the super bowl in Giants Stadium. If we get a blizzard with 20" of snow, no one will be able to get to the stadium, much less be able to have a football game. Two winters ago we had a blizzard with 20" of snow, five to seven foot snow drifts, then a month later another storm with 19" of snow.

Environment Canada is forecasting otherwise.

but the Farmer's Almanac has a very intricate formula using sunspots and magnets...

Funny you mentioned this. I just picked up a copy at Lowe's today.

Sycamores are already turning color, but it's still roasting outside.

This area is pretty much immune to polar outbreaks...they can't get all the way to the ocean normally. Rain and mild comes back quickly...so...not concerned.

I struck up a conversation with a homeless guy in Portland a while back -- and it was AMAZING how he predicted the weather -- and UNCANNY in his correctness...

I forget the details -- but BASICALLY it boiled down to him paying SPECIFIC attention to the LITTLE things in nature -- you know, the stuff that none of us notice...

Unfortunately, I haven't run into him this summer -- so I don't know his prediction for the winter...

I'd trust him over the Farmers Almanac ANYDAY!!!

Bad winter = very cold and snowy
very cold and snowy=snow days from school
snow days from school= paid holiday!
(just sayin')
