Old Farmer’s Almanac Predicting a ‘Super-Cold’ Winter

It's been a fairly pleasant, but cooler than average summer. Enjoy it now, because the Old Farmer's Almanac is predicting a 'super-cold' winter for much of the country.

The Old Farmer's Almanac has been published for 223 years and is based in New Hampshire. Their weather predictions for the year are calling for a 'super-cold' winter for the eastern two-thirds of the country. The Farmer's Almanac editor, Janice Stillman, told the Associated Press, 'think of it as a refriger-nation.'

They are predicting below normal snowfall in New England.

The Old Farmer's Almanac has had about an 80 percent success rate in its forecasts. They use modern technology but still use the 'secret formula' that founder Robert Thomas came up with in 1872.
