LOL....maybe they were a few standard deviations off the norm.

They got the PacNW right at least, but then we are wet and mild most winters.

How accurate were they for modelling summer?

 

[begreen]

Not so good

So .... plan for the worst winter and you can take what comes

Trouble with mild and snowy is the stuff is like wet cement to move and sets up even harder.

So whats this about? Do they report less snow and more snow and cold all at the same time?

That's the Farmers Almanac. The one referred to is the "Old" Farmer's Almanac. I believe the original Almanac. 225 yrs this year...

the old farmers almanac was wrong for 2016 this summer is warm and dry and the winter of 2016 we had next to nothing for snow which left us in may short of water. the op michael 6268 post said that the mass area will be mild and snowy and new hampshire to be cold and wet. how do you get wet from cold and snow from mild. somebody must have been reading the favorite beer post on this site when writing up the forecast.
