2017-18 Farmers' Almanac Prediction

The prediction we have all been waiting for has finally be released. Farmers' Almanac has published their 2017-18 winter prediction. You all in the East get ready because cold and snow is in the forecast. I have yet to receive the woolly bear report from back East and will share when I do.



For our Monkeys in the South be prepared because it will be a soggy winter.

And if you have never purchased a Farmers' Almanac, I believe it is worth the cost.

 

It certainly has been a soggy summer down here. We lost fruit trees, tomatoes, cukes, squash, melons to way too much rain. The bees left, I think they migrated to Nevada. Only thing that seems not to mind are squirrels, turtles, and weeds.

 

So it's weather as usual.

 

@Seacowboys is right. I have heard that the South had a wet summer. I am wondering if it will hurt the crop production/harvest. I always watch these predictions because it is not just making sure you have a winter coat but also my local produce section depends on the weather being normal.

 

Been a wet summer here in North Florida. Good thing is, our water table is back up from our drought of a few years back.

 

Well I may finally get to use my wood stove I purchased. It just never got quite cold enough to use. It got cold but not for any real extended periods of time.

 

When first moved to Nevada some years ago, I asked a longtime resident why it was so windy.
He told me that it was because California blows and Utah sucks.

 

I hope this is correct as we got way too much snow last year so 'Drier that normal' suites me fine.

 

Average in the mitten.
