Just curious if anyone knows how the weather so far (early season snow, very wet) compares to the Farmers Almanac predictions.

They're often nearly two weeks off.

You want a dead accurate forecast, stop reading Farmer's and listen to Hippy Dippy Weatherman, couresy of George Carlin-
"Tonight's forecast: Dark. Continued darkness on through the night then changing to partly scattered light in the morning."

Not that I really believe in the Farmer's Almanac anyway, but how could ANYONE possibly predict the remnants of a hurricane throwing FROZEN moisture back into the NE mountains???
This is very uncommon event especially so early in the season. We should give the FA a pass on this one!! :wink:

They only get a pass if the frozen stuff comes along the 4th-7th. Otherwise, they get a "Close", with extra points for the hurricane remnants prediction.
It will be the Winter of "Snowbound"
by John Greenleaf Whittier.
Snow will have significant coverage by thanksgiving.
Nor Easters will pummel the New England area every two weeks.
Warm Moisture from the ocean will follow a predictable pattern. With a shift of the Polar Ice Cap further to the East creating the start of a new Ice Age. All rivers will be frozen by Christmas.
A blocking high pressure established in MAY 05 in Greenland will restablish itself preventing Nor Easters from quickly leaving. Thus Nor Easters will wring themselves out on Land mass instead of out in the ocean. It is expected that snow accumulation will be triple the amount last season.
On the positive side large snow amounts will provide insulation to houses
remember to check ventilation exits on all houses and cars. Do not allow a vent to plug.
Snowblowers will be useless
Recomended reading "Snowbound" by John Greenleaf Whittier.
