Okay , enough of this snow crap now, this has been a long nasty winter.
Does anyone know what the Farmers Almanac predicts? What will this spring be like,
and will we have a nice hot summer?

The almanac predicts days may start getting longer, there may be some snow, possibly rain in April/May and summer should start in June. It is very exact. :thinking-006:

I think it calls for a sh*t loads of snow, scattered hurricanes, flash flooding, the water will turn into blood and the stars will fall from the heavens above. Yup, we're gonna die before June!

The best forecast I have heard is George Carlin's Hippy Dippy Weather forecast. Google it yourself, but it is basically;


weather is dominated by a large Canadian low, not to be confused with a Mexican high,
Forecast tonight will be.....DARK
continued dark tonight,
turning to partly light in the morning


the ultimate forecast...
the weather will continue to change on and off for a long long time

and etc

Farmer's Almanac seems to be correct 50% of the time !
Groundhogs are just as accurate.
