Farmers' Almanac Predicts Cold Weather, People Still Care Published: Aug 26, 08 Comments: 2 Views: 6,295 Do people still read the Farmers’ Almanac? Apparently so. The 2009 Farmers Almanac was just released, and the predictions are spreading across the web. Snap, I like viral news, but I don’t like old stuff. The almanac, which has a 192 year old history, claims an 80-85 percent accuracy rate for their weather predictions which are 2 years in advance. The Farmers’ Almanac, different from the “Old” Farmers’ Almanac, has expanded their brand into merchandise and online webcasts. This year, the publication predicted colder-than-average temperatures which will be “catastrophic for millions of people.” For those people that prefer a little thing called ‘science’ the National Weather Service uses a trends-based outlook, which suggests warmer than normal weather. I’m gonna bet on global warming and math this year… References: farmersalmanac, Filed In: |
