Hey, Al Gore! Add this to your “global warming” fraud list of things to ignore. The Farmer’s Almanac is right 80-85% of the time, and is predicting extreme cold.
Dreaming of a white Christmas?

Dreaming of a white Christmas? According to the world-famous Farmers’ Almanac, many Americans just may get that wish this year.
One of the most common questions the editors of the Farmers’ Almanac field each year is whether or not a given location will have a white Christmas. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the overall chances of a white Christmas are statistically quite slim for most areas of the United States. Mid-Atlantic cities like New York City and Philadelphia get snow on Christmas only about 10 percent of the time, while Bostonians see snow on Christmas less than 23 percent of the time, and even snowy locales like Chicago and Denver stand only a 50 percent chance of having a white Christmas.
Though winter officially begins on Monday, December 21, some areas have already seen their share of wintry weather, with icy temperatures and heavy snow descending earlier than usual along portions of the East Coast and central Plains. The 2010 edition of the Farmers’ Almanac’s frigid forecast for the rest of the season offers no respite in sight, especially for states in the center of the country. While that prognosis may sound bleak to some, the good news is that a white Christmas may be on tap for many regions this year, including New England, the Great Lakes, Plains states and the Rocky Mountains.
Old Man Winter’s grip will be tight this winter, but that hold will be mostly isolated on the middle of the country. This colder area at the center of the country will act like the ice-cold filling sandwiched between the relatively warmer coastal regions, says Peter Geiger, Philom., editor of the 193-year-old publication.
“Very cold and bitterly cold” is how the Farmers’ Almanac describes the winter in the Great Lakes, Plains, and South Central states, while temperatures on the East and West Coasts will be more in line with average to normal winter conditions. For residents of the East Coast, who bore most of the brunt of last winter’s fury, this may be good news, but the prediction of an “ice cold sandwich” is sure to send chills down the spines of Midwesterners.
The Farmers’ Almanac is calling for heavy snow in the Great Lakes and Plains regions this winter, with a rainy season in the South, and close to normal precipitation in most other regions of the country.
While nearly three-quarters of the country is expected to see near or below average precipitation this winter, significant snowfalls are forecast for parts of every zone. Residents of Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states can expect some a major snowfall in mid-February, with possible blizzard conditions in New England.
“People on the coasts shouldn’t think they’re off the hook just because we’re predicting milder winter weather for them. Shovelry is most certainly not dead,” warns Geiger.
The Farmers’ Almanac bases its long-range weather forecasts on a top-secret mathematical and astronomical formula that figures in sunspot activity, tidal action, the position of the planet in relation to the Sun, as well as a number of other factors. Faithful readers of the Farmers’ Almanac estimate that its annual weather forecast is accurate between 80 and 85 percent of the time.

Global Warming is real, the glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, and animals and fish are migrating (if they can) as a result. What folks like you–who think global warming is a hoax–don’t understand is that global warming doesn’t mean that everything warms up and there is no cold weather. Global warming means erratic weather, more storms, more highs and lows.
Let’s see. Farmer’s Almanac predicts extreme cold. Everyone I know is freezing due to record cold temperatures across the country. The sun has no sunspot activity, which indicates cooling. But I’ll believe the eco-terrorists and Al Gore, who stand to make billions on “green” technology and carbon tax to support “global warming” from falsified scientific data. Sure, why not? Tell you what, you pay my carbon tax bill, okay? Meanwhile, stock up on plenty of down comforters because this global warming thing sure can bring the temperature down. After all, white is black, wrong is right, and polar bears can’t swim.
Hey, global warming is a hoax. First, higher temperatures are better for humanity as higher increase the rate of metabolism which will result in increases in food produced by agriculture to feed humanity, food produced by trees to feed animals in the forests and food produced by algae to feed animals in the ocean.
Higher temperatures are a positive thing and to say that the world will come to an end is a big lie. On the other hand, what we are realy having is colder summers and longer winters, which are negatively affecting our gardening and landscaping businesses in New York. All global warming fanatics should be held accountable in court for lying and trying to destroy humanity. Hey sharonsj, if you believe so much in global warming, will you put your live and property on the line on a bet. I swear on my children and can assure you that you are just another victim of the comunist dogma that has taken over green peace and disguise themselves as environmentalists. Please go back to school, read about metabolism & temperature, photosynthesis & CO2, jet streams, El Nino, tree rings, soil formation and plant production and protection, sun spots, plate tectonics. You will thank me. Oh, may God bless you and open your eyes to real, solid facts from science and history!
My growing season has shortened to around 90 days, give or take. The night freeze does not go away until mid-June, and starts again around the end of September, beginning of October. The only things that grow well are root veggies and cabbage varieties unless you have a greenhouse.
Oh, I believe in global warming. . been happening since the last ice age.
While I can’t believe the industrial revolution has slowed warming (it surely isn’t helping) it definitely is NOT the cause. Global warming is not man-made and will not be stopped by man. We are guests on this planet and some would argue “parasites”. “Global Warming” is real and the “green movement” is another granola eater movement that cannot be proven or “disproven” in our lifetimes so they can get away with all their allegations merely ’cause it’s crap. Isn’t it reassuring to know that we’re gonna make a bunch of social fat-cats (Gore, Obama, VanJones, on-and-on) rich over it though?
Nice to see big govt crawling into my house and looking around in my rectum to find new ways to finince their latest “hunch”. Strip govt down to what it should be. . MINIMALIST. No more premium insurance and fat retirements. serve for the common good not for personal gain.
sharon is kind of right, global warming leads to something else after all. You see precipitation will increase dramatically over the next thousand years and then we’ll eventually come to another ice age
I don’t think Global warming is as big as we make it out to be. If you look back to our history of our weather you will see, it is cold one day and warm the next. We have always had hurricanes, tsunami tons of weather related problems. We all just pay more attention to it because of “global warming” Animals always migrate, The Ice Caps freeze and melt things happen. I’m not saying it’s a hoax or something but I do think it’s made out to be worse then it really is to get people’s attention. It has so I just say let those who believe it’s the end in 2012 and were all going to die because were killing the earth believe I on the other hand just believe things happen.
i live in southeast Arkansas,the heat index has already gone over 100 degrees several times,i cant wait for fall and winter to get here.
