Fark linked up this story detailing what The Farmer's Almanac is predicting for this winter:
Gas up the snowblower but don't put away your umbrella: The Farmers' Almanac is predicting a wild winter with heavy precipitation and dramatic temperature swings in the Northeast.
While long-term forcasting is even more of a crapshoot than your typical 3-day-er, I have found that general long term stuff like "colder here, warmer there" do tend to hold true. The one I've paid attention to was the National Weather Service's, which has indeed been reasonably accurate. Haven't seen that one though.
Ah well, the Spider needs new ball joints and tie-rod-ends anyway. Give me something to do when it's too cold and snowy to bike.
