Wicked Winter Coming This Way Says Latest Farmer’s Almanac
August 17, 2015 Even in this day and age of high-tech tools, “The Old Farmer’s Almanac” still carries clout.
The now 224-year-old reference book that uses a proprietary formula of climatology, meteorology, and solar cycles still produces surprisingly accurate long-term predictions.
The 2016 version of the Almanac, which was released last week, features a few noteworthy distinctions for the upcoming winter months:
- Above-normal snow and below-normal temperatures for much of the Northeast
- More frigid temperatures for the Midwest
- Ice threats in parts of the South
- Heavy snow periods for the Pacific Northwest
- California’s drought is likely to persist despite above normal-rainfall in the first half of the winter
According to NOAA, this year’s historic El Niño will continue to wreak havoc into 2016.
Accuweather.com’s long-range outlook includes indicators of a strong El Niño presence.
