A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Farmer's Almanac..

Anyone follow this?..

I know the 2011 for the U.S. will only be out in a few weeks but they gave us a sneak peek on ours this week.

For my region:
Yay.. Colder, heavier and more snow than normal for our area in the forecast...just great after having frost every single month this year.

We had the nicest winter ever on record last year..guess we'll pay for it this time around. Definitely going to pick up a book this year to follow.

I look at one if I see one somewhere. form the shouds of YOUr winter forcast, I guess I had better go pick myself one up, HUH???
Sorry about your forcast--I hope they are way off.

I was checking out weather forecasts yesterday. And looking at your area too, Tamara. Last winter was El Nino and that made for milder weather for you. This year is a La Nina year and it does mean some nastier stuff for some places.
We are to be cooler and drier than normal.(Sigh)
Here it is simplified.

They were way off on the August forecast for my area

Though they estimated the right amount or rain for my area this month their temperature estimate seems to be about 10 degrees off

That is good to hear Bill. I am going to go check out mine now.
Thanks for the link.

That was pretty cool and looking at the history of the year past was pretty accurate.

Thanks for the heads up on LaNina~Tina.

I couldn't find a book last year(they sold out) but I'll be able to get one at the book shop where DD lives this year

So I should be on teh lookout for an Almanac in a few weeks time, HUH?? Alrighty then--I think I will just do that....

Thanks for the link. I like looking at the almanac. We used to have someone on this forum, can't think of the name, who posted stuff about gardening with the moon. It was interesting.

It says we're going to have a colder than normal winter and some snow. It was wrong for August I'm sure because it says the average temp should be 79º and when it's 100º degrees almost everyday I don't think it will average out to 79º.

It says my summer was cooler and wetter than normal--Well---wetter yes!! cooler not on your bet.--it said excepr for hot spells...well my "hot spells must be running back to back, huh???

I hope winter is not colder & does not have more percipitation as they say. I hate snowy & icy roads.

Still goona buy my own Almanac

You and I both...

yep so you know of course we both live in the wrong areas, right???

That must be it

You all know what im looking for

Their saying cold and dry here....nice thing about the Great lakes is... they are running 10* warmer right now then last yr at this time.

Warmer waters and a cold air blast produces some awesome LES snows

Looking like it could be a good yr for snow for us. Our biggest issue past winters is , it would warm up and we never kept the base to build on to have a good amount.

snow

I think that's happening here too.
