From the farmers almanac

Lewiston, ME: After a brutally hot summer in most of the country, cool news is on the way. The new edition of the Farmers’ Almanac, which blows into town every year around the end of August, contains some chilly predictions for the upcoming winter.

"Shivery is not dead” reveals the 2007 Farmers’ Almanac, alluding to its winter weather forecast. “While global warming has taken up much of our attention (as well as news coverage), our winter predictions are pointing towards widespread cold from coast to coast, especially for the western sections of the country,” shares Peter Geiger, Philom., Editor. Geiger continues, “The cold may not be as frigid as 30 or 40 years ago, but we do expect this to be the coldest winter we’ve seen for quite a few years.” And, after last year’s unusual warmth, this chill might make winter harder than usual.

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. “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.”

Bring it on man, bring it on!!!!!!! Us New Englanders need to make up for lost ice fishing from last year. Me, being a landscaper, keeps track of patterns in trees, leaves, grass growth, etc. The one thing I noticed already is this; last year was one of the warmest winters I can remember and at this time of the year, there was no acorns on the ground. 2 years ago when we got slammed, there was acorns all over the place. As I visit all my properties with Oak trees I notice the acorns are all over the place so thats my prediction for the season; a repeat of 2 years ago. Also the wooly caterpillers are especially wooly even now so get ready. Fire up the auger, check your plow and wait; its coming.

I've got more faith in the old farmers almanac than I do the weatherman so heres hoping and bring it on. Just hope the good cold comes before the big snows.

Hopefully the alamanac will do better than last year's prediction that New England was going to have 'much greater than average snowfall' ... $:-\$

First- Good to be back at the shatty. Hopefully it is a lot better than last winter. Jan & Feb were a wash unless you wanted to drive an hour or more. Like to stay local for the kid. Makes it easy when she is the only one you can get to go.

Think positive. This will be a good year to ice fish. I made the best of it last year even though it was a tough season. But almost got out as much as the past 2 years!!

SO does that mean the Adirondacks will be 40 below zero instead of the usual 10-20 below? BRING IT!
