as of last month, noaa was predicting a warmer than normal pattern for southeastern states as well as a drier than normal. don't know about the rest of the country and have not checked to see if they have revised this recently or not.
I'm worried for this winter. It's already getting a tad chilly here in upstate NY and it's MID SEPTEMBER. Even worse, all my family in Florida JUST recently moved out of state. I have nowhere warm to go!
Maybe I should just spend my entire winter break camping in the Everglades...
Farmers almanac predicts a VERY snowy winter in the North East.. we're already gettin in the 30's here in south NH and northern NH is getting frost at nights
LOL, I agree here as well. I can't remember the last time our ground froze. That means way more bugs and insects for summer. The local powers that be say we are getting more tropical. all I know is I can't remember the last time we had a decent snow either.
Location: Somewhere along the path to where I'd like to be.

Seems like a lot of "predictions" in recent years have all called for above-normal temps, regardless of precip amounts. Are we ever going to see a forecast that calls for below-normal temps? I mean, I'm seriously ready for another hard-core snowy Winter.
Here's an article that kind of summarizes what the Farmer's Almanac predicted. Unfortunately, it doesn't look good in my area.
The article also says that the Almanac has an 80-85% accuracy rate. I've been wondering what their average is.
According to that link...
The 2007 Farmers' Almanac, released August 28, 2006, predicts the frigid temperatures, as much as 20 degrees below seasonal norms (and nearly 40 degrees colder than last winter), for Montana, the Dakotas and parts of Wyoming. For the Gulf Coast up through New England, unseasonably cold, or "shivery," conditions are expected.
Snow, and lots of it, is also forecast for the nation's midsection, parts of New England, and the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. [B]"The Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley may be the only area spared the extreme cold," reveals Sandi Duncan, Philom., Managing Editor, "but this is not to say this area won't be without its cold spells and significant snowfalls."[/b]
Well Rob, looks like we might finally have a better winter than recent years! Of course last year was my first Michigan winter...and I'm told it was mild. Seemed cold to me! Of course my point of reference is previously living in southern California, Oklahoma, and south Texas...
