This year's edition, on newsstands Wednesday, predicts a warmer-than-average winter in much of the country. Believers can look for below-average snowfall, except for a narrow swath extending from northeast Texas to northern New England.

Its all good, kiddo.:snow:

The Old Farmer's Almanac is not to be confused with the Maine-based Farmer's Almanac, published only since 1818. The 2008 edition of that publication, which went on sale in late August, forecasts plenty of snow this winter across the Northeast, temperatures averaging as much as 3 degrees below normal along most of the Atlantic Coast,

I like this one better.

IF our "modern" weather forecasters can't figure out the weather 2 days from now correctly, how is it these publications are the "authority" on what the weather will be 4 months from now. I'll believe it when I see it either way....

Agreed... Unless they're calling for a lot of snow, then I'll believe them...

About the only accurate wether reports I rely on are for the previous 24 hours.

Even then they'll screw it up!
